Mission Statement
The Acta Non Verba Foundation seeks to advance classical education across America by providing challenge grants to classical schools. We believe that a classical education best prepares children to become competent, moral, and service-oriented American citizens.
Classical Education seeks to cultivate wisdom through the promotion of intellectual and moral virtues by means of a rich and ordered course of study. This educational philosophy is rooted in the liberal arts, encompassing humanities, mathematics, natural sciences, philosophy, and theology. The goal is to develop informed, thoughtful, and morally responsible individuals who love learning, appreciate beauty, and seek truth.
