About Us
Welcome Message
Welcome to Auburn Classical Academy. We are Christian, Traditional and Classical.
ACA teaches and upholds traditional Christian morality and the Holy Scriptures as the divinely inspired word of God and cannot be separated from history, literature, mathematics, science or any other academic discipline.
We believe the family is a cherished institution given to us by God. It is the parents’ privilege to train their children at home and to teach them their beliefs. We seek to partner with parents in this endeavor.
We are classical, meaning that we employ the time-tested method of the Trivium (Grammar, Logic, and Rhetoric). Our curriculum is designed to inspire students to appreciate and understand the intellectual tradition of Christendom and the ancient world, and to see the acquisition of knowledge and wisdom as components of a lively Christian faith.
Our genuine dedication to forming well-educated, academically successful students of sound character is apparent at every level of work. Students are carefully taught to think logically and express themselves well. We strive to create an environment which is conducive to study and charitable interactions between students, parents and teachers. We provide students the tools for life-long learning.
Mission & Vision
Guided by the Gospel, we aspire to provide a traditional classical education in partnership with parents.
Our vision is to educate to a higher standard so that the whole person may grow in knowledge, wisdom, and virtue, centered on the love of Christ and His holy Church. We seek to provide young men and women with a distinctively Christ-centered and classical education whereby students learn to know, love and practice what is true, worthy and excellent.
Statement of Faith
As a Christ-centered school, the faith of our teachers and families is paramount to everything we do. All classes are taught from a biblical worldview, as one of our goals is to integrate faith and learning. All teachers have expressed faith in Christ and maintain a daily walk with Him. Teachers will set a Christ-like example for students, both in the classroom and off-campus.
The Apostles’ Creed forms the foundation of beliefs upon which ACA is established and is considered primary doctrine. Understanding that we are a school and not a church, issues related to secondary doctrine will be left under the purview of the church as God’s appointed authority on such matters.
The Apostles’ Creed
I believe in God, the Father Almighty,
the Maker of heaven and earth, and in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord:
Who was conceived by the Holy Ghost,
born of the Virgin Mary,
suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, dead and buried;
The third day He arose from the dead; He ascended into heaven,
and sitteth at the right hand of God the Father Almighty;
from thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Ghost;
the holy catholic church;
the communion of saints;
the forgiveness of sins;
the resurrection of the body;
and the life everlasting.
Our History
Auburn Classical Academy began in 2007 as a small group of like-minded home-schooling families, meeting in a home one day a week for Latin and Grammar. As these classes grew and friendships blossomed, ACA expanded, adding more classes. In 2009 we organized as a church school under Alabama Code Section 16-28-7. At that time, we were blessed that our growing student body was welcomed to meet at a local church facility. In 2012, recognizing our community’s increasing interest in classical education, ACA partnered with Highlands Latin School and became a partner school of The Classical Latin School Association. In 2015, ACA reorganized as a Private School. To accommodate growth and facilitate a structure most conducive to learning we began the 2016/2017 academic year located at our current site, in Opelika.
