The Geneva School


The Geneva School is a private, classical, coeducational Christian day school, founded in 1993. The Geneva School has two campuses in Winter Park and Casselberry.

Geneva is accredited by the and the and is a member of the Association of Classical and Christian Schools. Though most of the families at The Geneva School are Christian, the school does not require that its students or their parents provide any statement of faith or attendance at a local church. All staff are required to sign a statement of faith in keeping with Reformed Christian theology. The total enrollment for 2019-2020 is about 540 students, K4–12.

Academics

Geneva employs the trivium model of education in an attempt to return to the classical methods of education used by the ancients and medievals, but largely abandoned in the modern world. This distinctive classical approach to education is the basis for the school's entire academic program. Under this model, students are ideally given training in facts, logical thinking ability, and communication skills that will allow excellence in any higher discipline or vocation. While the trivium is nothing new, the idea of focusing upon each of these three liberal arts roughly during the grammar, middle-school, and high school periods, respectively, applied by many classical preparatory schools today, can be traced to Dorothy Sayers' influential essay, The Lost Tools of Learning. A Geneva education is designed to recover the disciplines and provide the benefits of this proven historical approach in the context of modern, Reformed Christianity.

Athletics

The Geneva School athletic teams are known as the Knights. Dan Harger has served as athletic director since 1999. The Knights are full members of FHSAA and compete at the 2A level in most sports. The Geneva School teams have won district championships in nearly all sports. Numerous individual district and regional championships have been achieved as well as many appearances at state level competition. In 2011, a Geneva girls' cross country runner was the state runner-up. In 2013, the boys' tennis line one doubles team finished as state runners-up.

Inspiration

Since the founding of The Geneva School in 1993, the faculty, staff, administration, and board members have relentlessly pursued this one mission: inspiring students to love beauty, think deeply, and pursue Christ’s calling.
