Geneva Academy is a private classical Christian school located in Lincoln, Delaware. The school was founded in 2008 by a group of homeschool parents, taking inspiration from Dorothy Sayers essay "The Lost Tools of Learning," [2] as well as Douglas Wilson's books, Recovering the Lost Tools of Learning and The Case for Classical Christian Education. Geneva Academy follows a traditional education pattern called the Trivium . This pattern consists of three successive stages: grammar, logic (dialectic), and rhetoric. Geneva Academy was a member of Association of Classical and Christian Schools [1] but, as of September 2020, is no longer a member. [3]
