If we ask in perplexity, why do so many men and women seem incapable of generous impulse, of reasoned patriotism, of seeing beyond the circle of their own interests, is not the answer, that men are enabled for such things by education?

About Ambleside Concho Valley.
Founded to provide a “living education” for the children of San Angelo, we seek to cultivate a love of learning and care for others while interacting with the best literature, the greatest works of art and music, and the majesty of creation.
Ambleside’s philosophy takes truth from Scripture and a deep understanding of the child as a person and applies it to education. Our practices reflect:
- Children are persons, created in God’s image, with a capacity and a desire to learn. At Ambleside, a rich, challenging feast of interesting studies are set before the student; they take and “eat” and are curious for more! There is no need for prizes and stickers to “get” the children work.
- All truth is God’s truth and should not be separated into the secular and the sacred. All studies, from Bible to music appreciation, from science to math to grammar, reflect the “good, true, and beautiful,” and offer opportunities for gaining knowledge of God’s creation.
- Joy comes through humility, when we forget about ourselves and are taken up in the delight of what is before us, whether that is a worthy book, a science lesson, music, serving others, or responding to God’s Word. The formation of strong Christian character through discipleship is foremost to the philosophy.
- Authentic community comes through relationships, and at Ambleside, our committed teachers, leaders, students, and parents are family, willing to sacrificially serve to make an Ambleside education possible for our beloved San Angelo community.
