"Building upon the foundation of the Core Knowledge Sequence, Thomas Jefferson Classical Academy: A Challenge Foundation Academy partners with families to educate students in grades K-12 in the trivium of grammar, logic, and rhetoric, thus graduating thoughtful, articulate young adults who are prepared for college and for a lifetime of citizenship and active intellectual inquiry."

The words of the school's mission statement succinctly describe TJCA-CFA's educational program.

TJCA-CFA’s charter and the essay on which it is based (the late Dorothy Sayers’s "Lost Tools of Learning") emphasize that the trivium is foundational both for further studies and for post-collegiate life. For these reasons, TJCA-CFA requires all high school students to take two years of Latin (with an emphasis on grammar), two years of logic, and a year of rhetoric, culminating in a senior rhetoric thesis.

Sayers emphasizes that grammar, logic, and rhetoric are stages of learning as well as foundational disciplines. During the grammar stage of learning (kindergarten through early adolescence), teachers provide a rigorous grounding in the "grammar" (or basics) of English, history, mathematics, science, art, and music by using the Core Knowledge Sequence developed by E. D. Hirsch. In accord with Sayers's essay, teachers emphasize observation, memorization, and recitation during the grammar stage.

During the dialectic or logic stage (early adolescence), Socratic questioning, logical argumentation, and discursive reasoning come to the fore. Later, during the rhetoric stage (later adolescence), teachers emphasize public speaking, presentations, and a synthesis of the knowledge gained in the various disciplines.

Thus, TJCA-CFA's curriculum is a unified whole in which the grammar stage prepares students for the logic stage, which in turn prepares students for the rhetoric stage, thus preparing graduates for a lifetime of active intellectual inquiry and citizenship.

Throughout the TJCA-CFA curriculum, preference is shown whenever possible for original works -- particularly the great books that have stood the test of time -- over textbook summaries. In addition, TJCA-CFA takes to heart Plato’s observation that the fine arts and athletics play a crucial role in classical education.

About our mascot

The classical mythological figure of the Gryphon has been selected as the symbol for Thomas Jefferson Classical Academy. It was used in the Persian, Greek and Roman cultures as well as in western heraldry.

Since ancient times it has been a symbol of vigilance, loyalty, strength, speed, gracefulness, and gentleness. As part eagle and part lion, it was master of the sky as well as the land. A goal for the academy is to have all graduates imitate the Gryphon by being able to command the heights of knowledge and truth and being able to use them in down to earth situations.

Parent Forum

webfeedback@teamcfa.org (Studio Geologie) — Thu, 23 Jul 2009 00:00:00 GMT

The forum is a parent support organization, (PSO), dedicated to promoting an optimal educational experience for the students at Thomas Jefferson Classical Academy. This group is formed in order to unite parents, faculty, and the TJCA board collectively with the purpose of fostering the development of our charter school, and to be a voice that will articulate and share our common purpose. The Forum serves as the “formal link” that facilitates communication between the parents, the faculty and the TJCA board. We strive to encourage parental involvement and to mobilize resources in the promulgation of our mutual goals.

Atlas Club

The Atlas Club – named after the mythological figure who held the earth on his shoulders – is a student organization that fosters awareness and discussion of environmental issues, such as desertification, the deterioration of farmland, water pollution, biodiversity, deforestation, climate change, and the rise in “environmental refugees.” The club also promotes practical service projects such as recycling. The organization is not an activist organization but a forum for learning, discussion, debate, and service.

4-H CLUB

I pledge my head to clearer thinking, my heart to greater loyalty, my hands to larger service, and my health to better living, for my club, my community, my country, and my world. TJCA 4-H is a successful youth development program. It will provide educational opportunities in a environment that supports long-term, productive interactions among youth. The club will emphasize skill-building, provide relevant projects that reflect the diverse interests of the youth involved. The club will also emphasize both promotion of positive behaviors and prevention of risk behaviors.The club will encourage youth participation and leadership. TJCA 4-Hers will develop life skills that will transform them into successful adults.To Make the Best Better,

2. Mathematics (beginning with the class of 2012): All students are required to take Algebra I, Algebra II, Geometry (combined with Logic I), Discrete Math (combined with Logic II), Honors Pre-Calculus, and an additional math course in order to fulfill TJCA-CFA's graduation requirements.
