Academics
Geneva employs the trivium model of education that has been lost in our modern world. This distinctive classical approach to education is the basis for the school's entire academic program. It is the belief that students who persevere at The Geneva School will have the knowledge (grammar), thinking ability (dialectic) and communication skills (rhetoric) required to excel in any discipline or vocation. A Geneva education is designed to recover the disciplines and provide the benefits of this proven historical approach in a modern, Christian context.Athletics
