Join Us for Good Conversation!
On Thursday night, February 2nd, our school will be hosting Ken Pope, the CEO of the Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation. Mr. Pope has a lengthy resumé and comprehensive authority on the topic of the evening. Leading Better Conversations At Liberty Classical Academy, we want to be in the business of leading better conversations. If there…
God, Family, & Country…and hope.
It can easily be dismissed as a cliché when we say that we value God, Family, and Country at Liberty Classical Academy. Isn’t valuing God something every religious entity would claim? Isn’t valuing family obligatory and valuing country simply a word for patriotism? In principle, these statements are all true. We are rooted in the…

From a Whisper to a Voice: Our First Out-of-State Fundraiser
Late February seems like a distant memory now as we complete the end of our two-week spring break. But on the 23rd of February, Liberty entered a new realm: raising funds outside of Minnesota! Very gracious Liberty grandparents hosted an event in Arizona and invited more than 80 people to their gorgeous venue, offering them delicious food and drink and a solution to our country’s problems—The Liberty Classical Academy Program.
A Word with Mr. Woernle
February 2022 Isn’t it easy to let goals or visions for the future of our families overwhelm us? Sometimes it creates anxiety just to think about it. We ponder on whether or not we can complete the goal or if our family will be where we envision it in ten years. The unknown is very…

What It Is. What It Isn’t. And What It’s Really About. by AJ Hofstetter Perhaps you’ve seen an email come through that introduced Mr. Brent Fisher’s role at our school, as our director of Spiritual Formation. Perhaps you’ve seen some of what he’s done or heard from your students about their interactions with him and…
A Word with Mr. Woernle…
This month I wanted to begin our conversation with a question, “how do we change culture?” Many of our peers may offer suggestions like politics and other such avenues. However, I would like to offer the proposition that one does it by narrative. Narrative shapes our opinions and beliefs. My friend and author S.D.

The Headmaster’s Corner
Liberty Classical Academy, now in it’s eighteenth year of operation, is often complimented for its academic, spiritual, and Biblically strong impact our students demonstrate both while at Liberty and after they graduate. While we can quantify some of this, recently a study was conducted by the Cardus Foundation (a nonprofit that studies the comparative effects of public schools and all forms of non-public schools) in conjunction with Notre Dame and the ACCS (Association of Classical Christian Schools—of which we are a member) which helps isolate the differences. The results were published in The Good Soil Report and distributed last year. This report is the strongest indicator yet of the powerful nature of classical Christian education across many distinct categories.
