Lutherans have a long tradition of classically educating students! Martin Luther and the reformers desired schools modeled after Greek and Roman academies. Several churches within our Evangelical Lutheran Synod also share in this desire. At Scarville, we are proud to offer a classical curriculum that embraces the liberal arts, rooted in our Lutheran tradition.
The curriculum and activities we offer at Scarville are all informed by the liberal arts.
