Providing an elegant, neoclassical education... Knowledge is power...
      Knowledge is happiness...
--Thomas Jefferson




At Monticello School our goal is academic excellence combined with a love of learning. Our dedicated, exceptionally skilled faculty, along with small class size, make it possible for Monticello School to offer a Neo-classical curriculum, based upon the renowned Core Knowledge Sequence. The rigorous curriculum provides age appropriate study of Western civilization and its arts and sciences, including literature, visual art, music, theatre, history, science, Latin and other languages, in addition to reading, writing and mathematics. The curriculum is enhanced by study of world cultures. The result is a content rich curriculum that encourages inclusion and honors diversity, assuring the global awareness needed for success in today’s ever-changing world.

Core Knowledge has been proven to dramatically accelerate both student achievement and enjoyment of learning, as documented in more than a thousand Core Knowledge schools across the country as well as independent studies by organizations such as Johns Hopkins University.
