Paideia Christian Academy is a Classical Christian School in Marion, IA. Our goal is to partner with parents as they raise their children in discipline and instruction of the Lord. We plan to be open for enrollment in the Spring of 2026, and begin classes in August 2026.
We have three distinctives:
1. Christian: All education must be Christian to honor Christ.
2. Classical: We believe that a Classical education is a tried and true method for shaping the heart, mind, and soul of a child.
3. Collaborative: We provide in person instruction half of the days of the week, and the rest are spent at home. We “collaborate” between the parents and teachers to instruct your child.
We gave three talks at New Life Community Church in the Summer of 2025 which describe these distinctives and our overall vision for the school:
07/29/25 Meeting 1 – Christian:
08/06/25 Meeting 2 – Classical:
08/13/25 Meeting 3 – Collaborative:
