We provide a broad education in the liberal arts and sciences. Liberal is derived from the Latin word libertas, meaning freedom, and this an education befitting citizens of a free nation.
We introduce students to America's founding documents early and build a strong foundation in American government to prepare the next generation for the responsibilities of citizenship.
An American classical education emphasizes the pursuit of truth, which can be discovered through careful study of our literary, philosophic, historic, and artistic inheritance.

Idaho Novus Classical Academy partners with families to provide students with an American classical education. We are a Hillsdale College K-12 Member School and part of the American Classical Schools of Idaho Federation. We are working to restore a traditional American public education that focuses on training the minds and improving the hearts of students. The importance of our mission can be understood through the following statement from George Washington’s Inaugural Address in 1789:
“I dwell on this prospect with every satisfaction which an ardent love for my Country can inspire: since there is no truth more thoroughly established, than that there exists in the economy and course of nature, an indissoluble union between virtue and happiness, between duty and advantage, between the genuine maxims of an honest and magnanimous policy, and the solid rewards of public prosperity and felicity…”
