A Classical Work of Art

Students in Ms. Brockinton’s 4th-grade class recently created a beautiful mosaic inspired by the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore in Florence as part of their classroom studies.

Throughout the project, selected students served as “project managers,” helping coordinate and guide the creative process while encouraging teamwork and collaboration among their classmates.

This impressive work not only reflects artistic skill and thoughtful craftsmanship but also the leadership, responsibility, and virtuous character cultivated at Aristoi Classical Academy.

Summer Reading Lists are Now Available

Before the first bell rings on Thursday, August 13, students are expected to read their assigned summer book and complete the accompanying assignment. Think of it as the perfect way to keep minds sharp while still enjoying all the fun summer has to offer.

Whether reading by the pool, on a road trip, or curled up indoors escaping the Texas heat, we encourage students to dive into their books early and pace themselves throughout the summer.

Happy reading, Griffins!
