Small by design.
Personalized in attention.
Embedded Files
Rooted in the classical liberal arts, MLCA pairs the study of literature, mathematics, science, history, and the arts with a warm, close-knit environment. Our small size is intentional, giving each student personal attention while guiding them on a joyful journey of learning and character formation.
Marrying Academic Rigor with Joyful Creativity
Marrying Academic Rigor with Joyful Creativity
At Main Line Classical Academy, we believe children are never too young to learn great things. With a curriculum that grows from playful discovery to seminar-style, students gain mastery of the classical canon while developing creativity, discipline, and joy in learning.
Our small community and dedicated teachers guide students in ways that are both demanding and inspiring, preparing them not just for the next stage of education but also to lead thoughtful, purposeful lives.
Our Teaching Model
Our Teaching Model
Our curriculum is a series of interconnected adventures that reveal the artistic, linguistic, mathematical, political, and scientific roots of today’s world. Even at the elementary level, students learn in a high school-style model, with block classes taught by subject specialists bringing expertise and passion to every class.
Our Principal and Grade Mentors provide steady guidance throughout the day, supporting organization, study skills, and social development.
Our compass logo captures these ideals of intellectual, interpersonal, and international journey. The words Iter Deo Et Musis Sacrum (“A Journey Sacred to God and to the Muses”) harken to the 1669 inscription on the walls of the Tübingen Stift, a school boasting Kepler, Hegel, and Hölderlin among its alumni.
