Scholé Tutorials is not a traditional school. We are school-like in some important ways: we meet during the week in classrooms, provide teacher-led instruction, teach knowledge and skills, assess student progress and mastery, and cultivate habits of learning. Whenever possible, we also seek to take learning beyond the classroom and into the natural world and wider community.

What makes Scholé different is the bridge between home and school. Our model is designed around a shared educational life in which teachers provide instruction, guidance, and expertise on campus while families remain active participants in their children's education in the home.

Because we are currently developing our program for the 2027–28 school year, we are beginning with an interest survey rather than traditional enrollment. If you'd like to explore whether Scholé might be a good fit for your family, please complete our interest survey

We are opening for the 2027-2028 school year for the fall semester.

Scholé Tutorials is being developed to serve families in the Binghamton and surrounding Twin Tiers area. We are currently evaluating several potential facilities for our future learning community. Because we are building Scholé intentionally around our educational model and the needs of the families we serve, we are taking care to find a space that is a good fit rather than simply settling on a location first.

If you know of a facility in the area that may be well suited to a classical Christian learning community, we would love to hear from you.

Classical education is an approach to learning rooted in the educational traditions of the ancient world and developed through the Christian and Western intellectual tradition. Rather than treating education primarily as the accumulation of information, classical education seeks to cultivate the habits of mind and character needed for wisdom and virtue.

One of its best-known features is the Trivium, the three stages of learning traditionally described as Grammar, Logic, and Rhetoric. In the Grammar stage, students acquire the foundational knowledge and vocabulary of a subject; in Logic, they learn to understand relationships, reason carefully, and examine ideas; and in Rhetoric, they learn to communicate what they know with clarity, wisdom, and persuasion.

Classical education also places particular emphasis on the study of great books and enduring ideas, the liberal arts, history, literature, languages, mathematics, and the development of habits such as attention, memory, reason, and eloquence. At Scholé Tutorials, these elements are pursued within a Christian understanding of truth, goodness, and beauty.

Yes. As Scholé Tutorials develops, we are seeking qualified teachers and educators who share our commitment to classical Christian education and the philosophy of restful learning. If you are interested in teaching with Scholé, please make our acquaintance with a brief introduction and a résumé. We would be glad to hear from you.
