The CCLE's Marks of a Classical Lutheran School
The CCLE’s Marks of a Classical Lutheran School provide a clear framework for schools seeking Lutheran classical school accreditation. These marks focus on four key areas:
Christ-Centered Teaching
Schools must integrate the Gospel into every subject and aspect of school life. This means that students not only learn academic content but also understand it through the lens of Lutheran theology.
Classical Curriculum
The curriculum follows the classical model of the trivium: grammar, logic, and rhetoric. This approach develops critical thinking, clear communication, and a deep understanding of language and ideas.
Institutional Governance
The school establishes and enforces rules, regulations, and responsibilities and operates with sound fiscal discipline and accountability.
Ongoing Improvement
The school has a strategy to evaluate all aspects of its classical Lutheran education, with procedures to continuously improve.
