A growing Florida-based classical school may be setting a new standard for education throughout the nation. Randall said the charter school already serves approximately 1,200 students and has a waitlist of more than 1,000. “Through the work of the Cornerstone Classical Foundation, we also hope to support the growth of high-quality classical schools across Florida and beyond,” Randall said. During the 2023-24 school year, 677,521 PK-12 students were enrolled in classical schools, according to a March 2024 analysis by Arcadia Education. “[N]o student should have to choose between a rigorous classical education and the opportunity to excel in athletics, the arts, or any other pursuit.
