Mission statement

The mission of Oxford Classical Charter Academy is to form students in mind and character through a rigorous, content-rich classical education in the liberal arts and sciences, cultivating knowledge, order, and civic responsibility.

The Academy is being organized around a straightforward conviction: public education should do more than chase short-term performance. It should help students read well, write clearly, think carefully, act responsibly, and prepare for the duties of citizenship and adult life.

Knowledge

Students should be taught real content so that learning is cumulative, coherent, and intellectually serious.

Order

Classroom culture should support attention, discipline, responsibility, and steady academic work.

Civic responsibility

Students should be formed for the duties of citizenship, self-government, and adult life.
