Why Choose Paideia?
Why Choose Paideia - The Next Generation
By D. Matthew Allen
On the wall in the front office of Paideia Classical Christian School is hung a plaque that lists the members of the founding board and founding families. My wife Konnie and I are the last ones standing. We are the last founding family still involved at the school. Since 2006, I have served as a director (and then director emeritus) of the school, along with teaching upper school Bible classes on a volunteer basis.
In 2006, when Paideia opened its doors for the first time, I wrote an article entitled “Why Choose Paideia.” You can read it here. At the time, my daughters were in sixth an... Read More
Deese Family Testimony
“Our family has been attending Paideia since 2015 and currently have a 5th and 2nd grader at the school. From the beginning, we can honestly say our experience has been amazing! Throughout our time at the school, we have had the opportunity to interact with the administration, faculty, and staff of the school in all facets. In every one of these conversations, it is readily apparent that they absolutely love their jobs teaching our children and are faithfully committed to their work. It has been a joy watching our children grow in knowledge and diligence. Even at the grammar school level, it is not uncommon for them to come home discussing a concept or a set of facts that I didn't even know! Having our children in a classical Christian environment has been an absolute blessing... Read More

Garrett Family Testimony
"We have been at the Paideia school since our son was a kindergartener. He is now a rising 10th grader. Our journey has definitely been an experience that we have enjoyed. We learned about the school through a flyer we received in the mail. My husband devoured the website and decided if he were creating a school and curriculum that Paideia’s curriculum would be the closest to it. We interviewed and had a warm and fuzzy feeling and tremendous peace about this being the right school for our family. The curriculum offers enough of a challenge that our son is kept on his toes. My husband and I have jokingly said throughout the years that if we could, we would like to enroll in the school. We are very pleased and unquestionably still stand by the decision we made to become... Read More

Mitchell Family Testimony
"We fell in love with Paideia the day we toured it. It became our home within a week of enrolling. The students, staff and faculty all embody a spirit of submission and Christ-like service to one another that creates a culture of respect and harmony not seen in other academic environments. It shows in our children when we are out in the community - through their curious minds and honorable actions. As a K-12 school, and with us having a large family, we will be at PCCS for the long haul!"
