About LLS

At the Lexington Latin School, we provide a classical, Christian education. This means we look at everything in life and learning through the crystal clear and true lens of Christianity. We see God and His handiwork in the beautiful world which He has given us, through the humanity of our fellow man, and through the inherent dignity He bestows upon us. We teach all school subjects knowing God is the author of all worthwhile knowledge. He made up the math, as well as the science. He inspired the great literature we read, the beautiful art we study, and the soul-touching music we are fortunate to hear. He made the very tongues that speak the Latin, English, and French. And He made the ears that hear and interpret the words said. He was there when all history was made and subsequently recorded. Our curriculum and philosophy are a result of that knowledge. Our mantra is to seek to cultivate wisdom and virtue through the good, the beautiful, and the true.

Knowledge is power and must be coupled with virtue. We believe our curriculum and the instruction of our teachers guide students to differentiate and know the value of courage over cowardice, loyalty over disloyalty, generosity over avarice, truth over lies, and love over hate. Knowledge without virtue and wisdom is dangerous and can be misused to the harm of many. Knowledge carries with it an inherent necessity to use it wisely and virtuously. Wisdom and virtue come from God alone and the abilities He grants us to know and recognize them. We use curriculum and teachers who inspire students to answer the higher calling of wisdom and virtue. As Henry Adams said, "A teacher affects eternity; he can never tell where his influence stops."
