A guiding principle for our dedicated faculty is that every child of God is capable of extraordinary achievements through classical training and cultivation of character. We believe that all education should naturally leads students toward the good, the true, and the beautiful. At CPLS, each student is challenged and inspired by the curriculum while being given the "tool kit" with which to further their learning and develop a passion for learning.

Our classical method of teaching is unique, but it is no experiment. Some of the greatest leaders and thinkers of Western civilization -- from Aristotle to Thomas Jefferson -- have been educated this way. Education is brought together in a convergence with Christ for a rigorous and rich educational experience.

One of the highlights of student life at CPLS is the “tour” taken each spring by 5th-12 grade students. These tours take students all across the country and are wonderful opportunities to draw closer to each other in Christian fellowship. It is here that the seeds of true lasting friendships are sown, nurtured and brought to fruition while also providing an awe-inspiring sojourn through our nation’s heritage.The goal of the tours is to provide every student a chance to personally experience the richness and vitality of our cultural heritage in an environment conducive to personal and spiritual growth. We consider these tours to be an integral part of the curriculum and is required of each student. The cost of these tours is included in the annual tuition.

Our school is located blocks away from the historic Kansas Capitol in downtown Topeka. We serve students from families all over Northeast Kansas.
