Local Parents and Community Members to Open Classical K-12 Charter School

Business

A group of Hillsdale parents and community members are developing and plan to open a new classical charter school in Manatee County in the fall of 2024.Bradenton Classical Academy, as it will be called, will open as a K-5 tuition-free public charter school, adding one grade each year until it serves all grades K-12. Through an affiliation with Hillsdale College’s Barney Charter School Initiative the school will offer a classical education. Before it can take concrete steps toward opening the school, the Bradenton Classical Academy
founding group must go through a rigorous charter application process that examines proposed timelines, budgets, operations plans, and curricula.This curriculum covers language, math, science, history, literature, and philosophy. Bradenton Classical Academy will also put an emphasis on music and art and begin implementing Latin courses in the sixth grade. The Bradenton Classical Academy founding group is presently working on its charter application, which it plans to submit to the Manatee County School Board in a couple of weeks.
