At our school, we believe that the right books shape the soul. Our Classics to Keep booklist is our carefully curated reading list designed for each grade level, featuring works that have stood the test of time—books that challenge the intellect, inspire the imagination, and nurture moral character.
In the tradition of classical education, we want our students not only to read these works but to return to them again and again. That’s why we encourage families to purchase these core texts, so that each student builds a personal library of enduring literature throughout their academic journey. By the time they graduate, our students will own a treasury of great books—loved, annotated, and remembered.
The Classics to Keep list is more than a reading list. It’s an invitation to lifelong learning and friendship with the best that has been thought and said.
Note: Families do not need to purchase all the texts at once. Literature teachers will communicate in advance when each new text is needed throughout the year.
