How is the HEP Classical program different from some of the other local Houston area classical programs?
1. HEP has a high standard of expertise. ALL OF OUR TEACHERS who teach in the Classical School hold a degree from a College or University. Many hold a Masters in the field. Some of the other programs, if you read their fine print, actually admit that the teachers/administrators do not have degrees, or even any university training. 2. The goal of our classical program is to instill in the student a love of all things classical….history, literature, and languages. We promise to offer a quality program, but not to create “stress” within the family by overloading the student with “projects” and other time consuming activities. Yes, there will be homework, but, it will not consume the family. 3. A one day a week program such as our 1st-6th grade program cannot possibly teach all of the grade level subjects and do an adequate job. Therefore, we ask that the parent teach the phonics (1-2), reading (all), grammar (all), and math (all) at home. See our classical program page for the specifics
