Parents have the primary responsibility to ensure that their children are educated toward the goal of Godly lives. We believe that many parents think providing an education centered on Christian truth feels unattainable. Proclaim School is not seeking to take away this duty, but to support parents in this duty by providing classes to make that duty more accessible through good instruction and affordable lower cost than many private alternatives.

We believe the best way to provide a good education that orients students toward the discipline and instruction of the Lord is to utilize Classical Methods of teaching. The classical method views education in three stages: Grammar, Logic, and Rhetoric The ultimate goal is that a student will learn how to learn. By the time they have mastered the three phases of the classical method they will be well prepared to go from knowing nothing about a given subject to being able to think critically and speak persuasively about it.. .

The cornerstone of the 3Cs of Proclaim School is that the education of children must be distinctively Christian. Education is simply the tool utilized by parents to prepare their children to live as godly offspring, holy and pleasing to the Lord. If their education is not serving this purpose, then what purpose does it serve other than a purpose contrary to it?

Learning the facts about something. An example would be the names and dates of events and people in history. Students commonly use rote repetition and song for memorization techniques.

Learning the arguments about something. To continue the history example, the student would now begin to examine the causes and effects of the events in history, having already established the facts. Opinions are formed based on logical argumentation and ethical considerations from a biblical foundation.

Applying arguments persuasively. Students now take the facts, the logic, and the opinions and begin to apply the tools of rhetoric and persuasion to make a defense of their opinions.
