Welcome to The Classical Academy of Sarasota
Imagine a school where the classics are taught and virtue is cultivated.
Imagine a place where your child can grow from Preschool through 12th grade – within the same community, surrounded by teachers and families who share your values.
At TCA, we believe that strengthening families strengthens students. Since 2014, we’ve been serving the Sarasota community with a content-rich, classical education that forms both the mind and the heart.
