Our Mission

The mission of Founders Classical Academy of Schertz is to provide an excellent and distinctive classical education that pursues knowledge, promotes virtue, and prepares students for a prosperous life in a free society.

At Founders, we believe that there is greatness in every human being, and everything we do is aimed at drawing that greatness forth. To that end, we offer a rich curriculum steeped in the best of the Western and American traditions. We study all subjects for their own sake. We give the necessary focus to every part of the human person. We teach, and expect, students to grow out of mediocrity into nobility through the practice of virtue.

Our academic program stands in sharp contrast to many schools today that are focused on process and standardized tests. Our academic program emphasizes a core of knowledge, acquisition of intellectual skills, and exploration of our Western tradition. Though standardized tests have their place, and we do seek to equip students for these assessments, they are not emphasized as a regular part of the classroom or as the major goal of a student's education. Here we aim to help students acquire knowledge, develop skills, and grow in wonder and appreciation for the joy of learning.
