When kids love to learn, the rest is easy.

Nittany Christian School students' scores on the Stanford Achievement Tests® consistently average well above the median on national norms. Our students in grades 1 through 7 take these standardized achievement tests every spring, so our families have more and more consistent achievement information than do families whose children only take such tests at certain grade levels.

Since Nittany Christian School is limited to eighth grade, students have always needed to enter local school districts to complete their schooling. We are very excited to see the great majority of those students not only having an easy transitions to local public and private high schools, but also often appearing on those schools' honor rolls! Our students are the best proof that Nittany Christian is meeting its mission of providing "academic instruction of the highest quality."

What is Classical Education?

A Classical Christian education is one of partnership with parents. At Nittany Christian School, parents are their child’s primary educators, responsible for encouraging their child to be disciplined and diligent.

The term classic means using the best practices from our history – both recent and ancient. A Classical Christian education instructs students with what they want to know when they want to know it.

When young children’s brains are developing ever so rapidly, the curriculum focuses on grammar and the development of language. In early adolescence when they naturally want to challenge everything, the curriculum focuses on logic. When they want to express themselves as teenagers, the focus is rhetoric, or persuasive writing and speech.
