Australia's first classical christian school - opening january 2013

St Augustine's Classical Christian College will become Australia's first Classical Christian School when it opens its doors in January 2013. Recently the College received approval from the Minister of Education in Western Australia, Dr Elizabeth Constable, for its Application for Advanced Determination. Currently the College is busy completing the process of registration with the Department of Education Services (DES) and has initiated the creation of an alternative Classical Christian Curriculum mapped to the National Curriculum. 

Parents, this is a unique opportunity for your student to receive an education that is historically unsurpassed in terms of the Western cultural traditions of freedom, truth and beauty. When studying the classics students become participants in the great story of Western Civilisation including the Greek and Roman legacy, the Christian moral foundations and emergence of liberty in the English speaking world. Classical Christian Education places a strong emphasis on the Great Books of Western Civilisation, Classical Music and Fine Art; restoring the Bible to its rightful place as the sacred text of Western Civilisation. Moreover, St Augustine's believes that the Classical Christian approach should be taught in an invigorating passionate fashion providing depth and rigour to our young, Indo-Pacific nation. In a time when questions of identity and meaning are paramount, the need for the richness and maturity of the classical model has never been greater.

Unlike many other educational philosophies Classical Christian Education is built around the concept of wisdom rather than either progressive trends or pragamatic education - which prepares students for the workforce. Classical Christian Education is also not reactionary Christian education but focusses on equipping students for effective leadership in the contemporary world. St Augustine's is proud to be able to offer the students of Western Australia this innovative and exciting opportunity to become part of what is destined to be one of our nation's finest schools.
