Agathos Classical School is known in our surrounding area as a place that feels like the next best thing to homeschooling: familial through its size (1 class per grade with 15-17 students per grade); academically challenging with its emphases in the classical liberal arts; intensely personal in its discipleship due to the intentional discussions held around "harkness" tables; Truth driven as we hope to cultivate a love for the primary sources (ancient through modern), Bible, theology, and the Church; thoroughly Christian from its emphasis in admitting professing Christian parents into its community, developing the whole child through added programs like Recitations, Thesis Presentation, Cross country, Fencing, Equestrian, Golf, Soccer. Most recently, Agathos's high school Mock Trial team finished 6th in the state after finishing 1st in it 14 county wide regional competition.

Using the tools of classical education, Agathos Classical School assists Christian parents in teaching and training their children to the glory of God. While college and career readiness are not the primary goals of classical Christian schools like Agathos, our graduates far exceed peers in these measures. Educators employ methods that have helped produce the greatest contributors to Western Civilization for well over one thousand years - authors, architects, scientists, theologians, artists, statesmen, and leaders of families and nations. Agathos means Goodness - the type of Goodness handed down as a godly legacy. Good for the Children; Good for our World.

Several things come to mind as "uniquely Agathos" Protocol Training - our ongoing cultivation of manners and social graces. Students graduate from one special protocol event to another culminating in evenings of fine dining, Nashville special events (symphony, artistic shows, etc.) and ballroom dance. Stone Soup Supper & Cocoa Bella - our two annual fundraisers - attendees hear from a speaker at the former regarding classical and Christian topics while at the latter, the greater community of Columbia gathers for special entertainment and gourmet chocolates. Uniforms: Agathos was the first school in Columbia to initiate the wearing of uniforms; most schools have followed our lead! Warrior Run: Every Cross Country team in the county (and beyond) look forward to our unique campus run!
