A look at just a few of the completed busts from Mrs. Hanes' sculpture class this past school year. The care and attention to detail our 9th-grade students put into their sculptures truly shows!

At Cincinnati Classical Academy, our students take art and music every day, alternating throughout the week. Through these disciplines, they learn to recognize and create beauty, to appreciate order and harmony, and to express themselves in ways that words alone cannot. These experiences form both the imagination and the heart—indispensable parts of a truly classical education.

This past academic year, Cincinnati Classical Academy faculty and staff welcomed 12 new Sentinels! Please join us in congratulating the following faculty on the arrival of their newest family members!

At Cincinnati Classical Academy, we are intentionally screen-free during the school day. This means you won't see iPads or Chromebooks in our classrooms. This is not because we are against technology, but because we recognize that true learning and human formation depend on attention, presence, and real relationships.

Children learn best when they are actively engaged with other individuals and the world around them. CLASSICAL believes in the power of the teacher-student relationship in learning; children learn with paper, pencils, and real books. By removing digital distractions, we cultivate the habits of deep focus, sustained curiosity, and genuine human connection. These qualities are becoming increasingly uncommon in today’s culture.

A look back at last week’s “Seed-to-Salad” party celebrating the end of the Spring Gardening Club! Students harvested lettuce, kale, peas, carrots, strawberries, and beets. After the harvest, they all sat down and enjoyed a meal together!
