About CHP

A Classical, Christian, Conservative Education

Classical House Prep began in 2020 as a simple means to an end for our community—a way to meet an immediate need. Yet what started as a solution soon grew into a mission and a passion that God placed on our hearts.

At Classical House Prep, we believe that nurturing the next generation is essential to shaping the future of America. Inspired by Psalm 127, which reminds us that children are a cherished heritage from the Lord, we are committed to creating an educational environment rooted in the same values that guided our nation's founding fathers. By instilling in our students the principles of truth, goodness, and beauty, we seek to revive the rich educational traditions that once formed the foundation of our country.

Our curriculum is designed to cultivate classical virtues and critical thinking skills—the very qualities that empowered past generations to lead with wisdom and courage. We believe that while the founding fathers built America into what it became, it is our children who will determine what it will become.

Through Classical House Prep, we embrace our small but meaningful role in restoring the education that shaped the founding generation, preparing today’s students to lead with character, conviction, and hope for the future.

Mission

In partnership with parents, and guided by the Gospel, we strive to educate students to the highest standards of the classical tradition, so that they may grow in knowledge and wisdom, and in the love of our Lord, and more ably use their gifts in the service of others, and for the glory of Christ and His church.

Vision

We seek to revive the education that shaped America’s founding generation, forming young people who pursue truth, embody virtue, and lead with wisdom and courage.

It is with great joy and anticipation that I welcome you to Classical House Prep. Whether you are just beginning to explore our school or have already decided to join our community, please know that you are deeply valued, and we are honored to walk alongside your family in this important journey.

At Classical House Prep, our heart is rooted in a simple but profound mission: to revive the rich educational traditions that formed the character and wisdom of America's founding generation. We believe education is about far more than academics—it is about shaping souls, cultivating virtue, and pursuing truth, goodness, and beauty in all things. Inspired by Psalm 127, we see each child as a precious gift from the Lord, and it is our privilege to help nurture them into young men and women of wisdom, courage, and faith.

Choosing the right school for your family is a decision that echoes far into the future, and we are committed to partnering with you in a way that honors your hopes and strengthens your child’s foundation for life. Our classrooms are places of joyful learning, deep thinking, and faithful community, where every child is known, loved, and challenged to grow.

Litchfield Christian School has been such a beautiful blessing to our family. LCS is a Christ-centered school that challenges students academically, nurtures their creativity, promotes a positive learning environment, and contributes to their spiritual growth. LCS is very supportive, and they encourage their students and their families. Our daughter came into LCS completely broken and empty. Public school had taken a drastic toll on her mental health. She had pleaded with us for over a year to homeschool her. We were at a loss. Our daughter is a very social person, and we knew she needed more. We decided to check out LCS as an alternative. From the very moment we stepped inside LCS, we could see and feel the genuine love. EVERYONE felt as if they belonged. Before our day of observing was over, she had asked if she could please come to LCS. She was smiling and said this place is my kind of place. It's definitely been just that!

Today she is thriving, and she is truly enjoying herself. She loves to go to school, and she loves all of the teachers. She has made good friends and is blossoming in all areas of life. She's even started singing on stage during chapel. This has been the best decision we could have ever made as parents for our daughter. We are incredibly thankful for this opportunity in our hometown, and we truly appreciate that LCS offers grades K-12. How blessed we are to be a part of Litchfield Christian School. We look forward to many more amazing years here.
