Welcome from The Headmaster
We are excited about what the Lord is doing in the midst of New Castle, Delaware. Tall Oaks Classical School is a K-12 classical Christian school which seeks to educate children to think biblically and live righteously in the world. Because the Bible is God’s Word and the basis of all we do, our core values are excellence (2 Peter 1:3), perseverance (James 1:25) and joy (John 15:11). Our prayer for our students is that they will “love the Lord their God with all their hearts and all their souls and all their minds.” (Matt. 22:37) We want to assist parents in the education of their children by providing an environment and culture which is similar to their home and church environment. We want to permeate our community with truth, goodness and beauty which are “absolutely universal properties of all reality.”¹
If you are interested in an education which will challenge your children academically and spiritually while preparing them for life, then you will want to continue looking at our website. In addition, give us a call in order to schedule a visit and tour.
Thank you for your interest in Tall Oaks Classical School. May Jesus Christ be glorified by your decision.
Donald H. Post, Jr.
