Too many classical schools overwhelm instead of educate.

Let’s be honest: most curriculum pages read more like academic journals than tools for curious parents. They’re dense, heavy on terminology, and full of well-meaning explanations that no prospective family has time—or patience—to read. The intention is noble. The execution? Not so much.

The goal of a curriculum page isn’t to prove how much your school knows. It’s to communicate clearly what students will learn and why it matters. If visitors feel like they need a dictionary to interpret your course descriptions or a cup of coffee just to finish scrolling, something’s wrong.

Instead of a giant wall of text, try using:

• Grade-level snapshots with bulleted subjects or sample readings
• Icons or illustrations to visually break up each subject area
• Downloadable PDFs for deep dives without cluttering the page
• Quotes from teachers or students about what they love in each subject

Your curriculum is one of the most compelling parts of your classical school—it deserves a page that inspires confidence, not confusion. Design it like you’re speaking to a parent who’s never heard of the Trivium. Because many haven’t.
