Knowledge
Students should be taught real content in literature, history, mathematics, science, language, civics, and the arts so that learning is cumulative, coherent, and intellectually serious.
Mission
Oxford Classical Charter Academy is being developed to provide a serious public education grounded in knowledge, character, and civic responsibility.
Mission statement
The mission of Oxford Classical Charter Academy is to form students in mind and character through a rigorous, content-rich classical education in the liberal arts and sciences, cultivating knowledge, order, and civic responsibility.
The Academy is being organized around a straightforward conviction: public education should do more than chase short-term performance. It should help students read well, write clearly, think carefully, act responsibly, and prepare for the duties of citizenship and adult life.
What this mission requires
A school guided by this mission must combine academic seriousness, clear expectations, and responsible public stewardship.
Character
The school should reinforce habits such as diligence, honesty, attentiveness, self-command, and respect for others, habits that support both learning and good conduct.
Citizenship
Students should leave school with a stronger understanding of citizenship, public institutions, and the obligations that accompany freedom in a self-governing republic.
