In recent years, many schools have adopted the term classical to describe their educational approach. While these schools may teach elements of the Great Books or emphasize traditional learning methods, they often fall short of truly integrating the full depth and breadth of a classical education. Royalmont Academy, a Catholic school in Mason, Ohio, offers something more, a classically infused curriculum rooted in the Catholic Intellectual Tradition, combined with the essential 21st-century skills that students need to thrive in today’s world. As a Regnum Christi school, we go beyond the traditional classical model to provide a holistic education that truly prepares students for life.
At its core, classical education aims to cultivate wisdom and virtue through the study of the time-tested works of Western civilization—philosophy, literature, theology, and rhetoric. However, many classical schools focus only on the mechanics of this approach. They may teach the great texts and encourage critical thinking, but without a clear connection to faith, the deeper purpose of a classical education.
Most classical schools struggle to fully integrate faith and reason, which are essential components of a truly classical education. Without the grounding of faith, students may learn about virtues, but they lack a framework to understand why these virtues are important in their own lives. This disconnect reduces classical education to an intellectual pursuit rather than a holistic formation of mind, body, and spirit.
At Royalmont Academy, we offer a classically infused curriculum that is deeply rooted in the Catholic Intellectual Tradition. Our students don’t just study the great thinkers of the past; they engage with these works through the lens of faith and reason, understanding how these ideas apply to their lives today. By integrating faith into our classical approach, we ensure that students are not only learning important truths but also growing in virtue, truth and wisdom.
In addition to a classical foundation, we prepare students with essential 21st-century skills. These include critical thinking, problem-solving, digital literacy, and leadership—skills that are crucial in the modern world. Our Regnum Christi identity helps form students to be leaders who act with purpose and virtue, making Royalmont truly stand out from other private schools.
A key difference between Royalmont and other schools is our commitment to integrating faith into every aspect of education. Faith is the foundation that gives meaning and purpose to the pursuit of knowledge and virtue. Without this anchor, classical education becomes incomplete. At Royalmont, students are guided to grow in their relationship with God while receiving an exceptional education. This holistic approach ensures that students are not just learning abstract concepts, but are living out the virtues they learn in real life.
By offering a classically infused curriculum that blends timeless truths with modern pedagogy, Royalmont Academy creates an environment where students are encouraged to think deeply, act virtuously, and lead courageously. This commitment to both the Catholic faith and modern skills sets us apart from other schools.
