truth, goodness, and beauty
We believe a student’s education will shape who they become; therefore, our mission is to nurture their appreciation of truth, goodness, and beauty as they strive for excellence, while guiding them to live purposefully in the service of God and man.
What is classical Christian education?
Modern education seeks to train for a job or a career. Classical Christian education prepares students to be excellent learners, rigorous thinkers, and effective doers.
What’s the difference?
Watch this short video that explains the difference between a Christian school and a Classical Christian school.
Grades Pre K - 6
The grammar phase provides the building blocks for the logic and rhetoric phases. Children are eager to memorize and we challenge them with facts that span all subjects from Bible to history to science.
Grades 7-8
During the middle school years, children begin to think independently and ask “why?” Classical Christian education teaches children in this phase logical thinking and the art of reason and debate.
Grades 9-12
Once a student has obtained knowledge (grammar) and the skills necessary to arrange those facts into arguments (logic), he will develop the skill of communicating effectively to others (rhetoric).
Why Choose the Ambrose school?
Christ-centered
At Ambrose we acknowledge Jesus Christ as Lord over all life and the Bible as the final authority in matters of life and thought.

“Not only have my kids enjoyed immediate friendships, amazing teachers and staff, and top-notch education and instruction, but their hearts are continuously being turned to find their joy in Jesus! We praise God for the faithful stewardship of The Ambrose School!”
The Eagy Family
Our goal for our children's education has always been for them to be at a school that would reinforce all the biblical truths we are teaching at home, and for them to be surrounded with like minded children and families. Once we discovered The Ambrose School we realized that it is the ideal school.
The Hage Family
Ambrose really is a community centered on God as much as it is a school. My heart is continually encouraged and delighted by the love and support I see here all the time. Would I recommend The Ambrose School to a friend? Wholeheartedly YES!
Paul Cushing
The decision to attend Ambrose gives my son the opportunity for a classical Christian education and to see God in all he learns. For this, I am grateful. The most important decision I want him to make is to follow Jesus.
Nicole Ingersoll
“Looking back, the school more than adequately prepared me for college and a career in nursing. I can say with confidence that The Ambrose School taught me HOW to think, not what to think, and this has prepared me for LIFE, not just a career.”

“When the light of Christ’s glory appeared in the first century, it revealed to that the old godswere a bit shabby. But his glory more than made up for it. Then Christians cleaned houseand the west became a capacious and vibrant place. And beneath its soaring heights newthings were built, things that had never been seen before: universities, and hospitals, aswell as the greatest civilization the world has ever known. It wasn’t heaven on earth; thatcivilization had its faults—but on a scale of relative goods, it was the best there ever was. The telescope didn’t destroy it. Atheism did—that way of seeing that doesn’t see. Nowwe’re told that there is no given intrinsic meaning because there is no God to give it. Someatheists are urbane, others are violent, and yet others popularize the new creed. But theyall agreed: In the end, everything amounts to nothing.” – C.R. Wiley
