Overview

Mission

The mission of Redeemer Classical School is to nourish our students souls minds and bodies with a classical education that reflects and preserves the traditions of the universal orthodox Christian Church. This tradition understands theology as the queen of the arts and sciences that comprise the liberal arts in the Western tradition. Pursuing such studies will prepare our students for self-government and service at home and in public life.

What it reported doing in 2025

We provide a community library to our neighborhood and church for a small membership fee with the goal of bringing greater literacy and learning to our neighbors. We employ a part-time librarian and spend money maintaining the collection.

Operating model

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and some filed totals do not add up.
