A tuition-free, public, American classical charter school in Eagle, Idaho. Serving grades K-7 during the 2025-2026 school year and adding a grade each year until K-12 is served.
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.
