Classical education emphasizes the pursuit of truth, goodness, and beauty through a structured model of learning built on the trivium: grammar, logic, and rhetoric. Students engage with great works, develop critical thinking, and form habits of virtue.
Unlike standardized models focused on job readiness and testing, classical education forms the whole person by integrating disciplines and training students how to think—not just what to think.
Latin builds mental discipline, strengthens vocabulary, and connects students to the roots of Western thought. It is foundational to understanding science, law, and theology.
Many classical schools, including Virtualis, integrate a Christian worldview to form students spiritually as well as intellectually. However, the classical model itself is not tied to one faith tradition.
Students trained classically gain mental resilience, character formation, and communication skills that make them leaders, no matter the career path.
The Great Books are enduring works of Western thought—Homer, Plato, Shakespeare, and more—that challenge students to ask timeless questions and engage with deep truths.
Classical is not just about content, but about cultivating wisdom and virtue. It's about formation, not just knowledge transfer.
All kinds—especially those who are curious, thoughtful, and ready to grow. The model fosters excellence and discipline for every learner.
Not at all. In fact, most classical students outperform their peers in reading, writing, and reasoning. They gain a stronger foundation for both college and life.
Tools are used thoughtfully—not as distractions, but as supports. Virtualis uses digital platforms for access, but centers formation in relationships, books, and discussion.
All of them. Classical students have gone on to medicine, law, engineering, ministry, trades, arts, and military service. They carry a formation that makes them adaptable and excellent wherever they go.
We serve students from Kindergarten through Grade 12 with an age-appropriate classical model that evolves from wonder and memory to analysis and expression.

Vitae is our signature K–12 formation program that integrates health, virtue, and human flourishing. It includes instruction in nutrition, movement, sleep, bioethics, and Catholic anthropology—all built into your child’s school day, not tacked on.
Unlike schools that treat health as a separate class or checklist, Vitae weaves human formation into all subjects. Students study anatomy alongside classical texts, reflect on bioethics in upper grades, and learn stewardship of the body with theological clarity.
Our program is designed by Catholic health expert Dr. Dana Rodriguez (PNP, PhD), and delivered by trained faculty with ongoing support. Families also get access to optional virtual sessions, videos, and telehealth consults through the Vitae network.
Children today face unprecedented confusion about the body, identity, and morality. Vitae offers clarity—grounded in truth and wonder—so your child grows up rooted, confident, and prepared to live out their vocation in wholeness.
Yes. While we encourage full participation, families may choose which wellness tools and telehealth features to use. The core curriculum remains consistent to ensure academic and spiritual integrity across all students.
Most schools offer either health or theology—never both together, and never this integrated. Vitae is the only program that forms students in logic and biology, virtue and vitality, doctrine and wellness, all at once. It’s formation the way God designed us: body and soul, in harmony.
