Curriculum Overview

Challenging classes in the Maths, Sciences, Humanities (including language arts, literature, history, and civics), and  Arts form the basis of a Petra education. Petra's classical pedagogy includes, as well, the teaching of Latin (grades 3-10), formal logic (grades 8-9), and rhetoric (grades 11-12). Consistent with Petra's Christ-centered focus, Bible classes are taught at each level and constitute the integrating center of our curriculum.

Emphasis is placed on the great books of Western civilization and primary source material in an attempt to cultivate the sensibilities of our students with the best that has been written and not to prejudice the modern era over voices of the past.
