Sardis Classical Christian Community

Billions have been spent putting devices in classrooms nationwide. Recent reports suggest student outcomes have not improved as hoped. We’ve taken a different path.

Our classrooms are device-free.
Students read real books.
They write by hand.
They look one another in the eye.

We believe attention is one of the most important skills a child can develop and we guard it carefully.

The U.S. spent $30 billion to ditch textbooks for laptops and tablets: The result is the first generation less cognitively capable than their parents Neuroscientist Jared Cooney Horvath said older generations “screwed up” giving students access to so much technology: “I genuinely hope Gen Z quickly figures that out and gets mad.”

Literature is meant to be lived, not just read.

After studying the Arthurian legends in King Arthur, our upper grammar students celebrated with artistic tributes to their favorite knights and a Round Table feast fit for Camelot. The surprise? Our high school students formally announced the arrival of the king before presenting our Head of School, dressed as King Arthur, to the younger students. The cheers, the wide eyes, the laughter… it was unforgettable.

Gathered at long tables with the king at the head, projects displayed and stories retold, students reflected on courage, loyalty, humility, and sacrifice.

In classical education, we don’t merely cover books. We enter them. Because stories of virtue are meant to shape the imagination and, by God’s grace, the soul.

🃏Learning Latin the Fun Way! 🃏
Our middle school students (7th–9th grade) put their Latin skills to the test this week while playing “Cape Piscem” (Go Fish)! To collect cards, they had to ask and answer questions in Latin, practicing conversation, comprehension, and pronunciation, all while having a blast.

At Sardis, we believe that language learning is more than memorization; it’s about speaking, thinking, and playing in the language, making every lesson engaging and memorable.

Come see us in person at our open house on Tuesday. RSVP here: www.sardisccc.org/rsvp
