"Educating the mind without educating the heart is no education at all."
—Aristotle
Science
At Vero Classical, students are trained to employ scientific methods, engaging in learning that is founded on direct experience and building an understanding that is both functional and deep, allowing students to develop a genuine appreciation of each branch of scientific study.
Through a comprehensive study of world history, students are led to recognize God's providence as it has been revealed throughout time. They come to understand the historical significance and chronological position of influential people and watershed events from creation to the present, as well as the influence of these on contemporary thought and culture. Emphasis is placed on the use of primary sources and historical narrative. A holistic approach to instruction is taken, allowing students to develop empathy and a deeper understanding of each era. History comes alive through special events such as Greek Olympics, a Medieval Tournament, and a Renaissance Faire.
A Holistic Approach to History
Beginning at the Beginning
In Grades 1-6, World History is studied chronologically, from ancient to modern times, enabling students to develop a thorough understanding of the context of historical events. In Grades 7-11, students complete a more in-depth study of World History from ancient to modern times, culminating in a capstone year of Political Philosophy and Government in Grade 12. The study of the Roman empire in Grade 8 includes a comparative study of the United States' Constitution.
