Read MoreWhy is the Gryphon our mascot at Grace Classical Christian Academy?
Throughout history, Gryphons have been portrayed as a legendary creature with the rear body of a lion, an eagle’s head with erect ears, a feathered breast, and the forelegs of an eagle, including claws.

Education is first and foremost, a religious endeavor, according to many in the Christian tradition…Because the responsibility of educating children belongs under the estate of the family, it is evident that the Christian school falls under the jurisdiction not of the church or state, but of the family…The education of our children is not delegated by God to the government; rather, it is given to the parents, or to be specific, to the father of the family. If at any point in time, the state or the church prohibits the Christian school from meeting for any reason at all, it is necessarily a usurpation of the authority of the family…Grace Classical Christian Academy with several other classical Christian schools across the country continue to meet, not because of a feeling of superiority over the state, but because of a conviction that to honor the authority of the family is submission to God.

The necessity of this approach for accurate interpretation and translation of classical texts was adopted by proponents of the Protestant Reformation, leading to fresh translations of Scripture based on manuscripts written in Greek (for the New Testament) and Hebrew (for the Old Testament). This conviction—that reliable knowledge is contingent on an accurate reading of original sources—explains why reading the Great Books is a sine qua non (i.e., an essential condition) for most classical schools.
