Singing Stream Village School provides an educational community for families to cultivate our sensibilities, develop attention, discernment, and wisdom, by focusing on the contemplation of Truth, Goodness, and Beauty- all of which ultimately point to Christ.
What is Classical education?
high view of people
Mankind was made in the image and likeness of God, though we live in a broken and hurting world. Because of this likeness, we have an innate nobility that desires to be in relationship with God and one another. At Singing Stream, we believe education is the cultivation of wisdom and virtue that is the right response to the person. Learn more
Pedegogy
In classical teaching, there are two modes. Mimetic, which allows for the embodiment of ideas in concrete form, and Socratic, which is a contemplative approach to presenting or clarifying an idea.
The CiRCE's Apprenticeship provides a foundation in the SSV's understanding of Classical Education and the professional formation of our teachers.
Logocentrism
We live in an ordered universe that is grounded in Christ, the Logos. At SSV, our lessons are logocentric, meaning each lesson is grounded in words and an idea that ultimately points us toward Christ, the Logos. Learn more
It may be that when we no longer know what to do
we have come to our real work,
and that when we no longer know which way to go
we have come to our real journey.
The mind that is not baffled is not employed.
The impeded stream is the one that sings.
-Wendell Berry
