ABOUT US

Philosophy and Academic Program

Idaho Novus Classical Academy is an American classical academy and a Member School in the Hillsdale College K-12 Education Initiative.  Our curriculum scope and sequence was written by scholars and master teachers at Hillsdale College and in American classical schools across the nation.  Novus is not the next new idea.  Instead, we are working to restore a classical American public education that focuses on training the minds and improving the hearts of students.  The importance of this work 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…”

An American classical education aims to prepare students to flourish and pursue happiness as citizens of our free republic.

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