Book Reports

"As we work toward a classical education for your child, our goal is that we use books that are classical in nature, proven quality literature, and somewhat time-tested, enabling your child to become a great thinker, learner, and contributor to society."


Every month (beginning in September), students will be given the assignment to complete a Classical Book Report. The books chosen need to be from the school's list of Approved Classical Literature and of the specified genre for the month. Scroll down to find the book list arranged according to genre.


​If there is a book that your child would like to read that is not on the approved classic reading list, email me the title and author to request approval.
