Support from Hillsdale College

Penn Woods Classical Academy is receiving startup counsel and training from the Hillsdale College K-12 Education Office after being accepted through a competitive application process. Penn Woods Classical Academy intends to license the Hillsdale College K-12 Curriculum and offer an American Classical Education. Each year complimentary trainings are offered at Hillsdale College for the board, leadership, and teachers at Penn Woods, and representatives from Hillsdale visit the school regularly to advise and observe. Penn Woods Classical Academy follows the tried and true Hillsdale College K-12 Curriculum to offer an American Classical Education.

About Hillsdale

Hillsdale College was founded to provide the kind of sound learning necessary to preserve the blessings of liberty. For over 175 years, it has offered an outstanding liberal arts education for undergraduate students. Restoring excellence to American K-12 education is a natural extension of the College’s mission, and Hillsdale has been helping K-12 schools for over three decades.

Hillsdale teaches K-12 schools to provide an education that is both classical and American in its orientation; one that is rooted in the liberal arts and sciences, offers a firm grounding in civic virtue, and cultivates moral character.
