Political Movements and Ideology

Southeast Ohio Classical Academy is dedicated to providing an educational environment that encourages critical thinking and balanced perspectives. As a public charter school, we uphold a commitment to neutrality regarding political movements and ideologies. Our curriculum and teaching practices focus on fostering a classical education that promotes independent thinking, civil discourse, and a well-rounded understanding of history, government, and civic responsibilities. We ensure that our academic programs do not endorse or promote specific political ideologies but rather encourage students to explore a diversity of viewpoints and to develop their own informed opinions.

Religious Beliefs & Practices

Southeast Ohio Classical Academy respects the diverse religious beliefs and practices of all students and families within our community. As a public charter school, we maintain a secular environment that upholds the principle of separation between religion and public education. While our classical curriculum may include studies on world religions as part of a comprehensive understanding of history, literature, and culture, we do not endorse or promote any particular religious belief or practice. Our goal is to cultivate a respectful, inclusive atmosphere where students can appreciate diverse cultural and religious backgrounds as part of a well-rounded education.
