How to Read a Book: Rediscovering the Joy of Reading

Books are as different and unique as the people who write them. Knowing how to approach the different genres of literature can make all the difference between a frustrating experience and a fruitful journey through a book. Please join us as Joseph Bailey leads an informal discussion on this topic. Feel free to contact us at pinnacleclassical@gmail.com or 240-9080 if you have any additional questions.

The Classical Christian Approach to Teaching the Arts - God as Storyteller

In an age when schools are struggling to cover even basic reading, writing and arithmetic, focus on the creative arts is often neglected. Classical Christian education offers a unique approach to exploring and employing all of the creative talents that God has gifted to man.
