Meet David Amstutz, Founder of The Classical School
With over twenty years of experience in independent schools, David Amstutz has witnessed firsthand the power of rigorous education in shaping successful students. However, he has also seen how financial barriers have placed top-tier education out of reach for many families. The Classical School is his answer to this challenge—an institution that offers a premier college-preparatory experience while remaining financially attainable for a broad spectrum of families.
Why a Classical Approach? “The classical education model works,” Amstutz explains. “By emphasizing early reading skills through phonics and building a strong foundation in math with Singapore Math, we accelerate intellectual development. Equally important is our commitment to instilling moral and civic virtues, ensuring our students become engaged citizens.”
The Private School Advantage Starting in Kindergarten at a private school like The Classical School offers students significant benefits:
- Early Mastery of Reading & Math – With structured phonics instruction and fundamental math skills, students excel earlier.
- Small Class Sizes – Teachers provide individualized attention and tailor instruction to each child’s needs.
- A Calm & Focused Learning Environment – Without significant disruptions, students develop a love for learning and school.
Why This Decision is Life-Changing for Families
Many parents assume private education is financially out of reach, but The Classical School is changing that narrative. With income-based tuition and strong financial aid options, parents can provide their children with an unparalleled educational foundation without undue financial strain. “I’ve seen how private school education has benefited my own three children,” Amstutz shares. “It has set them up for success in high school, college, and their careers. This is an investment in your child’s future.”
