"Freedom Through Truth For Service"

Welcome to Augustine Classical School

We are an emerging cottage school in Rochdale and aim to set up a full-time school in the near future. Our teaching is based on Classical Christian Education. We are committed to providing faith-driven education that equips students to serve Christ, Church and society. Our educational philosophy is deeply rooted in the historical Christian and Classical tradition, and follows an approach that has shaped people for centuries in the past. Inspired by Augustine of Hippo, we seek to follow his vision of "rightly ordered love" and the pursuit of truth through faith and reason.

Mission

At Augustine Classical School, we aim to offer a low-cost, high quality education with a rich learning atmosphere, classical liberal arts curriculum and formative Christian practices.

We want to awaken hearts and minds to the urgent need for Classical Christian education in our time.

We want to cultivate individuals with wisdom, eloquence and Christian virtues to enter various fields as salt and light (Matth. 5:13-16).

We want to support families in providing their children with a Christian education and seek to influence society and the nation through a diverse, organic, and vibrant Christian community—one that is deeply rooted in the triad of family-school-church.

Vision

For Christ

The purpose of Christian education is not primarily for personal excellence, but for the glory of Christ and the benefit of the church and the nation.

For the church

The main hope for the future of the church and the nation lies in the education of the next generation. Christian education is the responsbility of the church, the family and the community. The church that ignores this responsibility will inevitably die out.

For service

We use the means of Classical Christian Education to lead students to experience truth, goodness and beauty. We believe that through this education, students will be a light and blessing to the entire nation.

Our Core Values

1. Back to the Roots

   We draw from the rich heritage of Classical Christian education, reviving the wisdom that shaped Christian civilizations that is now largely been lost.

2. Bible-based education

   Education should form the whole person nurturing faith, intellect, character and affections in children as image-bearers of God.

3. Virtue

   True education isn’t just about knowledge—it’s about developing moral character and learning to love what is good and reject what is evil.

4. The Great Conversation

   Students engage with the greatest books and ideas in history, building deep wisdom through Scripture, theology, philosophy, and literature.

We are looking for passionate families and teachers

“Now he is a man of just and holy life who forms an unprejudiced estimate of things, and keeps his affections also under strict control, so that he neither loves what he ought not to love, nor fails to love what he ought to love, nor loves that more which ought to be loved less, nor loves that equally which ought to be loved either less or more, nor loves that less or more which ought to be loved equally.”
