We offer a classical education with a modern approach. Too often, parents and students face a choice between traditional schools-lacking flexibility and individualization or "progressive schools" that fall short in delivering deep knowledge and an intentional curriculum. At Guidepost Academy, we combine deep study of core subjects with a focus on real-world exploration and application. This transforms the school experience from disengaged participation to thriving and passionate learners who have an ever-increasing capacity for individual exploration.
We call this the “third option”.
We are not a traditional school. Traditional schools are at odds with the needs of the adolescent: you are forced to conform to a system that emphasizes standardization and memorization. Instead of learning about your own unique needs as a growing, changing, striving individual, traditional schools teach you to meet the needs of the system itself.
We are not a progressive school. Progressive schools often allow you free reign to choose your own pursuits, moving from project to project, but without that deep attention to knowledge that would fully unlock your mind’s potential. They tend to emphasize choice, but without the structure needed to learn, integrate, and apply knowledge.
We are the third option. We pursue the union of thought and industry, of the mind and the hand. Our students don’t just memorize- they understand, apply, and integrate knowledge. Lessons are motivated by the world, and students apply their knowledge in pursuit of their own passions in the world.
