Growing Classically is a show largely directed toward the community at Oak Grove Classical Academy in Albuquerque, New Mexico. However, it is also for anyone interested in thinking through the beauty and uniqueness of a Christian, Classical, University-Model™ education. Join us as we embark on a quest to nurture intellects, character, a love for lifelong learning, and a deeper love for Christ in our students and ourselves.
