Classical Charter Schools of Whiteville Mission

Our understandings of humankind and our universe are expressed and communicated through all of our arts and sciences. Each method of expression- language, painting, music, mathematics, and science- has its rules and techniques for effectively communicating these ideas and understandings.

These rules and techniques are bridges over which ideas must be communicated from one generation to the next. Thus, the mission of the school through The Roger Bacon Academy is, for the next generation:

● To teach the rules and techniques for effective expression and communication in the arts

and sciences,

● To communicate, by these arts and sciences, our understandings of the universe and our

role in it, and

● To instill a love of learning and discovery, justifying a life-long dedication to health, truth,

and virtue.

Classical Charter Schools of Whiteville Vision

The School unites and balances all subjects—whether language, mathematics, art, music, history, or science—by teaching each as a method for expressing ideas with standard rules and classical examples for study in each area. Every student who is willing to pledge self-discipline, honesty, and perseverance can excel to their fullest potential at The School. We expect every student to devote full attention to every subject—whether language, mathematics, art, music, history, or science—to achieve a balanced, comprehensive understanding of our civilization and the world in which we live.
