About

What is JPII South?

1) a Hybrid Model school which promotes the unity of the family, the role of parents, and the independence of students.
2) a Classical Curriculum which connects students to the great minds of history and human excellence.
3) a Catholic formation based on virtue, the magisterium, and love of Jesus Christ.

JPII South is the ideal setting for families that desire flexibility and parental involvement with a focus on rigorous academics and strong Catholic faith formation. Our educational approach develops capable and independent students, strengthens family bonds, and keeps costs low for large and growing families.

The hybrid model embraces the best aspects of traditional schools and the advantages of a homeschool. Teachers instruct eager students in small classes and provide assignments for both school and home. The curriculum is designed and administered by the school. Students attend school each Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday; parents facilitate and monitor their students’ progress at home on Monday and Thursday.

What is the classical curriculum like?

The Classical Curriculum follows the historical development of human civilization up to the present, exposing them to the great minds and characters of history. The curriculum emphasizes the skills of grammar, logic, rhetoric, math, and science. And students gain a depth of understanding and love for the Catholic faith which infuses every class. Our proven classical curriculum

guided by expert teachers who lecture, prepare labs, grade, assess students, and assign work provides parents all the support of a traditional school with added flexibility.
