“The Glory of God is man fully alive”
the only Christ-focused classical Academy in El Paso, Texas.
Why Classical Education?
Formed for a full life
Education comes from educere, "to lead out." We lead children out of ignorance and into the light, so they can grow in mind, heart and soul, not just in test scores.
Rooted in the Seven Liberal Arts
Grammar, logic, rhetoric, arithmetic, geometry, music and astronomy have trained great minds for centuries. They give children the tools to learn anything.
Virtue and Respect
We hold high standards of behavior while respecting each child as a unique soul. Discipline here is about growing in virtue, not just keeping order.
What Is a Classical Academy?
The Seven Liberal Arts
A classical academy starts with the seeds of learning: the Seven Liberal Arts. On that foundation, it gives children the tools to reach their full potential, academically, professionally, personally and spiritually. Students read great works by the great minds who formed other great minds. They meet the true, the good and the beautiful firsthand, in original sources, art, music and nature. And they learn to think, discuss and express truth with conviction and beauty. Our approach is rooted in Christian anthropology, classical philosophy and Catholic moral teaching. It forms the whole person, not just the student.
What Makes St. Albertus Magnus Different?
We are family-focused, not just a school. St. Albertus Magnus Classical Academy was built to work alongside homeschooling families. Our classrooms have the feel of a home: collaborative, warm and personal.
We are also deeply rooted in the monastic, prayerful tradition that gave birth to Christian classical education when learning happened alongside prayer. Here, study and prayer still go together.
