North Dakota Coalition of Classical Christian Schools
Our Mission
The North Dakota Coalition of Classical Christian Schools (NDCCCS) provides a forum in North Dakota for the encouragement of educational renewal, reform, and refinement in the classical Christian tradition of the West for the glory of God and the blessing of future generations of North Dakotans.
What is Classical Christian Education?
Classical education is the pursuit of wisdom through a cultivation of intellectual virtue and an encouragement of moral virtue by means of habits rooted in the historic scholastic practices of the Church and the West and by a rich and ordered course of study, grounded in the liberal arts; ascending through humane letters, mathematics, natural science, philosophy, and theology; and yielding informed self-rule and a well-ordered understanding of human nature, the cosmos, and God.
It is aimed at the thoughts and desires of heart, soul, and mind (the whole person) for Christ and his Kingdom.
The work of NDCCCS
- Inspiring and helping groups seeking to renew, reform, or refine a Christian liberal arts tradition through new and established private schools and learning communities across North Dakota.
- Sharing and leveraging experience, expertise, and resources in our schools and communities for the benefit of schools and learning communities across the NDCCCS network.
