About Us

Our Young Women's studio serves girls ages 12-17. We provide a rigorous personalized education that emphasizes exploration and experimentation. We're all about forming character, fostering personal responsibility, and promoting physical, mental, and emotional wellbeing.

We recognize that art, exploration, discovery, and learning are all spiritual endeavors. We embark on learning so that we may be more and do more while knowing and loving God more. We’re currently accepting applications for our inaugural cohort.

Our mission is to ignite the intellectual growth of young women and nurture their unique strengths and passions.

“We’re forming students to be strong in body, sound in mind, and pure in heart.”

Mission

Our mission is to ignite the intellectual growth of young women while nurturing their unique strengths and passions.

Vision

We want to provide a viable alternative to value-neutral one-size-fits-all schooling. At the same time we are leading a movement away from the consolidation undermining local control of education.

Values

Apogee Dayton seeks to educate the whole person — body, mind, and soul — within the Christian tradition. We embark on education, research, and exploration in the full confidence that what we learn will not contradict our faith, but instead speaks of God’s abundant majesty and grace. We explore so that we may be more and do more while knowing and loving God more.

Approach

We operate on the principle of open-source education. Open-source education involves exploration and experimentation. It is far less rule-based and test-driven. In this model students are the initiators. The underlying premise is that practically anything can be the starting point towards self-mastery and a good life. Everyone you encounter is a potential teacher.

Charting a New Course

We recognize that we have a duty to educate and inform the conscience properly. We want to build character, foster personal responsibility, and promote physical, mental, and emotional wellbeing.

Our student-centered approach emphasizes exploration and experimentation. Students engage in genuine scholarship. They harden their bodies and they develop a palate for goodness, truth, and beauty. We want them to wrestle with big questions related to origins, meaning, and morality and commit to a particular vision after thoroughly exploring the alternatives.

We recognize that art, exploration, discovery, and learning are all spiritual endeavors. We embark on learning so that we may be more and do more while knowing and loving God more.

Pursuing the Good, the True, and the Beautiful

Goodness, truth, and beauty are not subjective qualities despite what the culture tells us. Good implies fit for a purpose. Truth is in accordance with things as they actually are, independent of personal preferences and popular consensus. And beauty amplifies what is good and true.

An Emphasis on Character Development

We want our young men to grow more like Christ so they can enter into the freedom that is waiting for them; free to pray fervently, fight honorably, and love discreetly; and to become the truest, kindest, meekest, sternest, gentlest, and most earnest men they can be.

The Advantage of a Christian Worldview

The Church has a great advantage over secular education since it has an understanding of who it is we are educating and a vision for what these individuals might become.

Responsive to Parents, Not Special Interests

We believe parents deserve to have an accomplished professional instructing their children who shares their values. Instructors should be responsive to parents, not administrators.
