Classical education meets Christian values Classical Education Drawing on timeless Judeo-Christian and Greco-Roman ideas, Hillsdale's nationally praised American Classical Curriculum balances language, mathematics, science, physical education, music, and the arts. Students use primary sources from ancient scholars and our country's Founding Fathers, combined with hands-on learning experiences to cement big concepts in practical ways. Christian Values Faith is the heartbeat of Penn Woods, shaping our school's culture and teaching approach. Through Biblical literacy, prayer, and communal worship, students are encouraged to develop strong Christian character and moral integrity, preparing them to be lifelong disciples of Christ.
