Garden State Classical Academy hosts free Story Hour events

originally published: 03/07/2025

(SEA GIRT, NJ) -- Garden State Classical Academy, located in Sea Girt invites families to attend a FREE Story Hour on Thursday, April 3, 10, 17, and 24th and Thursday, May 1, 8, 15, 22, and 29th.

The events will be held from 10:30am to 11:30am at 219 Philadelphia Blvd. in Sea Girt. To pre-register for the Children's Story Hour, RSVP here.

Garden State Classical Academy will open this Fall as a PK-grade 4 tuition-based private Christian school, adding one grade each year until it serves PK-12. The Academy will offer a classical education through an affiliation with the Hillsdale College K-12 Education Office. The school's mission is to cultivate academic and moral integrity in each student through a content-rich classical curriculum, paired with intentional character development within a lifelong learning environment grounded in a Biblical worldview.

Their curriculum covers phonics, grammar, math, science, history, literature, and philosophy. Garden State Classical Academy will also emphasize physical education, music, and art daily and begin teaching Latin courses in the fourth grade. The Academy emphasizes core virtues that serve as its educational approach's foundation. By focusing on these moral and civic virtues, Garden State Classical Academy aims to prepare students to face challenges beyond the classroom.

“There is a growing movement favoring a strategic, limited use of technology alongside traditional teacher-led classrooms, a focus on objective Truth, and a respect for parental authority in educational and health-related decisions." Anne Poppen, the Head of School at the Academy, stated, "We believe that a classical curriculum is the best way to restore the purpose of education. We look forward to introducing this program to new families who share our commitment to revitalizing American education, upholding traditional family values, and fostering a Biblical foundation in the Christian faith."
