A Time-Tested Approach

Southeast Ohio Classical Academy is one of many schools across the nation to partner with Hillsdale College’s BCSI Initiative, a program to establish and sustain classical liberal arts education throughout the United States. Like all of the highly successful Hillsdale-affiliated schools, SOCA emphasizes intellectual rigor, character formation, and responsible citizenship. We accomplish our goals through great books, time-tested methods, and teacher-led classrooms.

K-8 Curriculum Highlights
