A TUITION-FREE CLASSICAL SCHOOL IN Tyler
At Founders Classical Academy - Tyler , we seek to provide an excellent and distinctive classical education that pursues knowledge, promotes virtue, and prepares students for prosperous lives in a free society.
Knowledge
We believe that the pursuit of knowledge is never-ending and we set the foundation for students to be lifelong learners.
Virtue
We believe knowledge alone does not make a good citizen. The shaping of a student’s heart is more important than the shaping of their mind.
Liberty
We believe that liberty is necessary for citizens to live and participate in a free and just republic.
Our Mission
Founders Classical Academy - Tyler seeks to provide a well-rounded education that is distinctively classical, pursues knowledge, promotes virtue, and prepares students for prosperous lives in a free society. The Founders school motto is “scientia virtus et libertas,” which when translated means knowledge, virtue, and liberty. The school motto expresses the idea supported by the Founding Fathers of our nation: if we want to maintain our individual liberties and our societal freedoms, we must have a well-educated and virtuous citizenry.
We believe that the end (goal) of public education in America is to form responsible citizens and virtuous people who are prepared to flourish. We seek the growth of classical schools in general, and Founders in particular, to promote these two essential ends on a national scale. We believe that when classical schools and related educational programs become widespread and the quality of students these schools produce are recognized, we will begin to see a significant transformation in our country in terms of civic outcomes and moral conduct.
