ABOUT US


Philosophy and Academic Program

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…”

We offer:

  • A true partnership with families to form citizens of knowledge and virtue
  • Instruction that acknowledges objective standards of truth, goodness, and beauty
  • A school culture of moral virtue, decorum, respect, discipline, joy, studiousness, and thoughtful patriotism
