EDUCATING CLASSICALLY AT FAIRMONT ACADEMY
2
2 - Tutoring and Private Education
Educating Classically at Fairmont Academy was originally founded in 2000 as a satellite homeschool to the Great Books Academy.
Education Focused on Freedom
"A classical liberal education, based on the liberal arts, takes its name from the Latin word liber, meaning free. This dedication to liberal education is borne of the understanding that it is liberal education, traditionally understood, that leads men to freedom and happiness. Hand in hand with this understanding of liberal education is the acknowledgement that freedom and happiness do not mean license and pleasure. Rather, freedom and happiness are found in the life of virtue. The Great Books Academy has been inspired by the educational initiatives of Dr. Mortimer J. Adler, who sees in classical liberal education not only the means necessary to imbue students with the skills to become excellent lifelong learners, but also the means to be fully engaged citizens, exercising civic duties from a principled understanding of the issues which confront them daily. These too are all qualities shared by free and happy men."- Great Books Academy
