As we head into the year's end, if the Lord is leading you to give, please consider Christus Classical School. We cultivate wisdom and virtue in children for their good and God's glory. Our goal is to raise $38,500 for our 2026-27 Annual Need-Based Scholarship Fund. https://donorbox.org/annual-need-based-scholarship-fund Link to give in our profile. #k-12 #privateschool #makingdisciples #classicalchristianeducation #yearendgiving #carthagemo #christianfamilies #christianschool #loveoflearning #livingeducation #christusclassicalschool

Currently, Christus students are studying simple machines in Physics class. A catapult is a compound machine that primarily uses the lever simple machine to launch objects, but it may also incorporate other simple machines depending on its design, such as a pulley and a screw. Archimedes first organized and provided the scientific framework for simple machines but no one person discovered them. Rather, they developed over time, and were gradually refined in different cultures and time periods throughout history. #science #physics #archimedes #simplemachines #classicaleducation #christusclassicalschool #carthagemo #privateschool #classicalchristianeducation #joplinmo #christianschool #theclassicaldifference

It wasn’t much but it was so fun! The students scraped together tiny snowballs to throw at each other! #firstsnow #christusclassicalschool

Students arrived sleepy and slow for our first frigid morning back to school after Thanksgiving break. We began the season of Advent with a quiet devotion and twinkling candle to light the path of anticipation in hope - just like the wise men, seeing the star, we center our hearts on the promises of God and purpose to revel in the Christmas season for it’s true fulfillment of the soul as we journey through The Story that changed the world forever. May your advent season be a blessed time of hope in Christ! We are grateful to be using Ruth Chou Simons @gracelaced advent devotional “Prepare Him Room” and have made the students journals for each day as they study and reflect. #christusclassicalschool #advent #hope #jesus #classicaleducation #christmas #loveoflearning #carthagemo #privateschool #joplinmo #theclassicaldifference #nowenrolling

“We will enter His gates with thanksgiving in our hearts, we will enter His courts with praise! We will say this is the day that the Lord hath made. We will rejoice for He has made us glad!” Happy Thanksgiving from Christus Classical School! #thanksgiving #solideogloria #truthgoodnessbeauty #classicalchristianeducation

So grateful for our first Thanksgiving Feast Day! We studied the first Thanksgiving. From the voyage of the Separatists in the Mayflower, to their first feast with the Native Americans. We gave thanks to God for all His mercies for these first precious months. We practiced the common arts of baking, cooking, and laying a table, and we fellowshipped over the fruit of our efforts. It is good to be able to worship and praise our Creator with each other at school. May the Lord bless our table and bring more to gather round year after year! #christusclassicalschool #classicaleducation #carthagemo #privateschool #religiousfreedom #bounty #thanksgiving #fellowship #gather #grateful

Recently, Christus students studied the earliest known forms of writing in history class. Cuneiform writing was formed by a wedge shaped reed making impressions in clay. The ancient Sumerian culture utilized this form of writing, and its artifacts have been recovered in the area known as Mesopotamia in the ancient Middle East. #christusclassicalschool #classicaleducation #carthagemo #classicalchristianeducation #privateschool #joplinmo #christianschool #history #cuneiform #mysteryofhistory

Equipping students with a biblical worldview is part of our triangular relationship with the Church and parents. Through this partnership we all are participating in the transformational work of discipleship. Our intent is not to shelter or isolate our children from the world but rather to provide them the plumb line of truth upon which to wisely evaluate the world. In this way our students will graduate as Christians who are able to exercise discernment, allowing them to avoid being “tossed here and there by waves, and carried about by every wind of doctrine.” (Ephesians 4:14) #christusclassicalschool #classicaleducation #carthagemo #christianworldview #classicalchristianeducation #privateschool #joplinmo #theclassicaldifference #loveoflearning

We spent Wednesday morning learning about patience as an aspect of wisdom. The Stanford marshmallow experiment was discussed and performed at our very table, with suckers! We are happy to report all the students made it through to the end of class without choosing to eat their suckers, and as a result will receive a second prize on Friday morning! We have such great discussions with Dr. O in our morning manners class! #christusclassicalschool #classicaleducation #carthagemo #classicalchristianeducation #privateschool #joplinmo #theclassicaldifference #nowenrolling #wisdom #prudence

Each class at Christus Classical School begins with a Collect. This is a prayer that we say together each day. Our art class Collect is one that speaks truth to our children about who they are as created image bearers. Our prayer is one of gratitude and a petition for the grace to bring God glory through our created work. These small prayers write truth upon our children’s hearts through the gentle rhythmic repetition of each day. “I am fearfully and wonderfully made in the image of God. Therefore I make because I am made. May my hands, heart, eyes, and art bring You all praise and glory.” -Art Class Collect Student featured artwork: Mountains by Vivion Loy #christusclassicalschool #christianschool #privateschool #artclass #solideogloria #classicaleducation #carthagemo

Centripetal force is an exciting opportunity for exploration. From hurricanes, to toilets, to water slides our students were challenged to think about how this amazing force of nature works and where they find it in the world around them. #stem #scienceclass #classicaleducation #noeoscience #classicalchristianeducation #theclassicaldifference #christusclassicalschool #privateschool #carthagemo #joplinmo #missouri #wonder #wisdom

There are two essential processes in reading. Decoding and encoding both rely on phonemic awareness, yet are distinct. Decoding involves converting written text into spoken language, while encoding is the process of converting spoken words into written form. Both are vital! This is why you might see a first grader at Christus being asked to spell something by writing on paper or closing thier eyes and saying it aloud. They are practicing encoding their phonograms. Conversely, you might see them decoding a book as they read aloud to their teacher. #phonogram #reading #christusclassicalschool #loveoflearning

Parent Progress Pumpkin Party time! We had our first quarter progress family meetings. Yes, that’s right, the parent and student are both present for these and they are a time of celebration, communication, and fellowship. We aim to make sure parents, teachers, and students are communicating well. Keeping close tabs on what is going on in the hearts and minds of their students is a big priority for our teachers. We don’t just give a percentage grade and a one sentence comment, we offer cultivation of character, which cannot be reduced to numbers. At progress meetings our recommendations and commendations are all within the framework of our Portrait of a Graduate: A Christus Classical School Graduate: —will be nurtured to know all things and their relationships to those, to love learning, and to use that knowledge to serve God wisely. (Building Wisdom) -will be trained in virtue, to act in prudence before God and their fellow man, forming rightly ordered affections for the true, the good, and the beautiful. (Cultivating Virtue) -will be directed to the holiness of God in all their studies that they might desire to be holy as God is, seeking His glory above their own. (Desiring Holiness) If this sounds like it might be just what your family is looking for in the education of your child, give us a call or an email today! #christusclassicalschool #carthagemo #classicaleducation #solideogloria #livingeducation #lifegiving #humanflourishing #nurturingsouls #christianeducation

It’s time to celebrate! We received our approval from the IRS for our 501(c)3 NP organization status! we are so grateful!

Dr. Odudu likes to bring the children a handmade treat on Fridays for snack time. This Friday he brought his Nigerian family recipe, Chin Chin. A traditional fried pastry trio. Dr. O enjoyed making this together with his family when he was younger. #snacktime #classicaleducation #christusclassicalschool #fridays

Sir Isaac Newton is known for his discovery of the laws of motion, force, and gravity. Students are studying Newton’s laws in Physics this semester and are both curious and thrilled with all of the creative science experiments in our Noeo Science labs. Sir Isaac Newton believed that with every scientific discovery he made, it only gave more evidence that our universe was formed by an Intelligent Creator. #classicaleducation #science #sirisaacnewton #stem #theclassicaldifference #physics #newtonlaws #carthagemo #privateschool #christianschool @noeoscience

At Christus Classical School we have music every day. The transcendental nature of beauty found in music is essential to our school curriculum. This is because beauty is essential to our souls for flourishing, to our understanding of the world around us and to our mission, which is to raise up men and women who create a culture for the glory of God in their homes and in our world. #truth #beauty #goodness #theclassicaldifference #music #musictheory #christusclassicalschool #cultureofchrist #classicaleducation

Welcome to the schoolhouse! We are busy preparing for our first year! Watch for little updates on our progress! School opens September 3rd. We can’t wait! A First Day Poem The morning smells of paper and pine, freshly sharpened pencils aligned like sentries, ready for the slow march of lead and thought. Uniforms sway in the breeze of the hallway, tan and black, a quiet harmony, as shoes tap out their own metronome of arrival. We smile because the year is new, in our hands lie the Great Books, weighty with the words of Augustine and Homer, voices older than these brick walls, yet alive as the morning hymn. Our singing rises, woven with prayer, lifting through open windows into a sky that has heard such songs before, and will hear them again when other hands take up these same books, these same bright pencils, and set out once more to learn how to love what is good. #classicaleducation #christusclassicalschool #carthagemo #christianschool #classicalchristianeducation #joplinmo #theclassicaldifference #schoolhouse

Phonemic awareness is the single best predictor of reading development in young children. It sets them up to master spelling-sound relationships, which means they can more easily connect letters with the sounds they make. This is how literacy instruction begins in our grammar school and leads directly to early decoding, which involves reading written words based on the sounds each letter makes. Since reading skills and spelling skills go hand in hand, phonemic awareness will help kids become stronger spellers and writers. Join us to learn more about phonemic spelling at our Phenomenal Phonics Friday Night April 25th! #classicaleducation #classicalchristianed #carthagemo #joplinmo #homeschool #privateschool #schoolchoice #reading #loveoflearning #swmo #education

Merry Christmas! “He lies in a manger, but contains the world; ...he is wrapped in swaddling clothes, but clothes us with immortality; he is suckled, but adored; he finds no room in the stable, but a temple is built in the hearts of believers.” “Let us celebrate, then, the birth of the Lord with the manner and mood of celebration that it deserves (...) Rejoice, you righteous: the one who justifies you has been born. Rejoice, you weak and sick: he who heals you has been born. Rejoice, you captives: the one who redeems you has been born. Rejoice, you servants: the Lord is born. Rejoice, you who are free: he who sets you free is born. Let all Christians rejoice: Christ is born.” -Quotes Above from Augustine of Hippo (Sermons 190, 184)

What is Socratic dialogue? Why is it important to the classical tradition? We will be teaching and hosting a lovely dialogue at Mrs. Loy’s house. It’s important to note that we intend these evenings to be community building, joyful, festive gatherings and will not be pursuing enrollment or asking you to donate. We just want to share our love of the classical tradition with those families in our community who want more fellowship over the good, the true, and the beautiful! #classicaleducation #carthagemo #joplinMo #webbcitymo #diamondmo #southwestmissouri

In his book, The Intellectual Life, A.D. Sertillanges exhorts those who are in ministry to study and reflect on the Truth. For our thought and our actions have the same father. What we study and meditate upon will have a direct influence on how we act. That means we must be diligent to teach our children what is good and true and beautiful! Virtue can be taught and instilled as we give our students good things to behold. #classicaleducation #theclassicaldifference #christusclassicalschool #soluschristus #backtoschool #joplinmo #carthagemo #webbcitymo

Why should you choose Christus Classical School? We know it’s a big decision. There is risk. There is cost. There are unknowns. Here are just three reasons out of many why you should feel comfortable to choose Christus Classical School: 1. We view parents as the chief educators and therefore decision makers for the well-being of their children. We operate In Loco Parentis for Christian parents. They are your kids. You will be involved every step of the way in your child’s education. You will know what they are studying. We offer a classical curriculum centered on the foundational truths of the Holy Bible. 2. We will be teaching your children HOW to think, not WHAT to think. This means truth, logic, and rhetoric will be taught. Sending your kids to a school that will equip them to be strong thinkers has never been more important. 3. We will be teaching virtue. What kind of person do you want your child to be? We want to help you as you seek to nurture the character of your child. Virtues are cultivated through learning and practice. Aristotle suggested that self-discipline improves character, while repeated self-indulgence can corrupt it. We seek to develop Christ-like character in our students. #classicaleducators #classicalchristianeducation #christusclassicalschool #latinschool #joplinmo #webbcitymo #carljunctionmo #carthagemo

Our fourth and final Core Value to share is that we provide our students with a classical education. No trendy group learning strategies here, no radical social theory experiments on your children; we use a time tested approach to education that has worked for thousands of years. Classical Model | Philosophy Christus Classical School will operate in a classical model of learning. Students will read classic books, study the seven liberal arts, and be encouraged to have a spirit of inquiry. The transcendentals of truth, goodness, and beauty will be woven through all subjects and curriculum. Students and faculty will be well-read, learning how to think, not what to think. All faculty will diligently seek to foster a love of learning and an atmosphere of order. #classicalchristianeducation #TheClassicalDifference #classicaleducation #truth #beauty #goodness #schoolchoice #learning #christianeducation

We recognize that parents want to invest their children in a community that does it’s very best to live out the Christian life in integrity. Parents want to know that the faith practice of their home is upheld within the halls their children walk, the behaviors that are taught, reinforced, or rejected......and just as importantly, that their children have friends whose parents are on the same page. Whether in speech, conduct, or dress, we want to uphold a culture of Christ followers, while providing a grace-filled atmosphere where it is safe to fail, to learn, and to be holy. A place where the secular world and it’s values are not exalted. This is our second Core Value at Christus Classical School. Culture in Christ | Practice Our code of conduct, curriculum, and atmosphere at CCS will strive to create a culture like the one Christ Jesus embodied and laid out in scripture through His leadership, His character, and His actions with His disciples. Essentially, this culture is described by the fruits of the spirit as dictated in Galatians 5:22-23: humility, love, joy, patience, peace, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. Christ-like conduct includes modesty, unity, and selflessness. #christusclassicalschool #classicaleducation #TheClassicalDifference #joplinmo #schools #schoolchoice #privateeducation #christianeducation #classicalchristianeducation

In 2009 The Barna Group conducted a survey to see what percentage of Americans have a biblical worldview. For the purposes of the survey, a “biblical worldview” was defined as believing that absolute moral truth exists; the Bible is totally accurate in all of the principles it teaches; Satan is considered to be a real being or force, not merely symbolic; a person cannot earn their way into Heaven by trying to be good or do good works; Jesus Christ lived a sinless life on earth; and God is the all-knowing, all-powerful creator of the world who still rules the universe today. In the research, anyone who held all of those beliefs was said to have a biblical worldview. Overall, the research revealed that only 9% of all American adults had a biblical worldview IN 2009! This survey from 13 years ago illustrates why it is imperative that one of our core values at Christus Classical School is to give students a Christian Worldview. Christian Worldview | Perspective Our aim is that in everything we do and teach, our graduates would view all of life through the lens of Scripture, bolstering their faith, not ashamed of the gospel, able to give a defense for the hope they have, helping them engage the culture and create lives that bring Him glory. #corevalues #christusclassicalschool #joplin #classicalchristianeducation #TheClassicalDifference #christianworldview #barnagroup

On average, Missouri students spend 1,186 hours per year in school. That’s a lot of time and a lot of education pouring into your child’s mind and heart. We want to be transparent about who we are so you can make the most informed decision about where your child will spend the majority of their time learning! Our core values make up the essence of our school. We have four, and we will be sharing them with you this week. Our first core value is as follows: Canon of Scripture | Principles All ideas, decisions, policies, traditions, and belief systems taught or operated at Christus Classical School will be founded in the Canon of Holy Scripture as our sole source of truth, wisdom, and guidance. The Word of God is sufficient and supreme for faith and practice. #christusclassicalschool #classicaleducation #TheClassicalDifference #joplinmo #schools #schoolchoice #privateeducation #christianeducation #classicalchristianeducation
