Bannworth Academy of Classical Education

Bannworth Academy of Classical Education is an award-winning microschool redefining modern education through classical scholarship, expeditionary learning, and real-world application. Recognized as Best Private School in Florida for three consecutive years, Bannworth Academy serves students through on-site, hybrid, and virtual programs designed to cultivate disciplined thinkers, capable leaders, and lifelong learners.

At the heart of the Academy is the Bannworth Education Method™, an immersive approach that bridges the gap between knowledge and experience. Rather than limiting education to textbooks and lectures, students engage subjects through hands-on exploration, interdisciplinary study, field research, and meaningful academic inquiry. From archaeology and paleontology to science, literature, and the ancient world, learning is transformed into discovery.

The Academy’s innovative Chrono Teaching™ initiative draws upon the strongest instructional methods throughout history, integrating time-tested classical models with modern educational insight. Combined with our Global Teaching philosophy, which studies and incorporates effective practices from cultures and educational systems around the world, Bannworth students are exposed to a broader and deeper educational experience than traditional models typically provide.

Education at Bannworth is intentionally adventurous. Students participate in expeditionary learning, museum partnerships, research-based projects, and immersive experiences designed to awaken curiosity and intellectual confidence. The result is an environment where students do not simply memorize information—they investigate, analyze, explore, and apply it.

Underpinning every aspect of the Academy is a Judeo-Christian worldview. Faith is not treated as separate from learning, but as the lens through which truth, morality, purpose, and discovery are understood. Jesus Christ is recognized as the foundation of the Academy and the source of all that we pursue, guiding both the character of our community and the purpose behind our work.

Bannworth Academy is more than a school. It is a living educational movement built on the belief that true learning happens when scholarship meets discovery. Have trowel, will travel.
