Why Classical Education Is on the Rise — And Why You’re Part of It

While American public schools continue their downward trends in lower test scores, moral degeneracy, and budget shortfalls—Classical schools are rapidly growing around the country and their graduates are, “more likely to take leadership roles in organizations.”

By choosing Canterbury, you’re joining a growing movement of parents across the country who are turning to Classical Christian education—a movement now valued at over $10 billion, according to a recent Forbes article. In an age of cultural uncertainty, families are rediscovering the value of a time-tested approach that forms both the heart and the mind.

Classical school “distinctions represent a significant departure from secular [public and private] education and conventional Christian schools, carving out a unique market position.”

As the article notes, “This flexibility appears in standardized test results, where classical Christian students consistently demonstrate superior verbal and quantitative reasoning skills compared to peers from other educational backgrounds. Classical Christian education’s emphasis on logic, rhetoric, and analytical thinking directly develops these highly marketable abilities.”

At Canterbury, you’re not just choosing a school—you’re joining a national renewal in education rooted in truth, virtue, and wisdom.
