The Fellowship of Arts & Mysteries, Ltd., and its secondary school, Collegium Kingsgate, offer a unique educational approach combining Classical education and traditional apprenticed trades. This philosophy recognizes that just as two rivers converge to form a mightier one, the merging of these two educational streams shaped the Judæo-Christian West. By reuniting Classical learning with hands-on trades, the school provides a strong alternative to modern post-Christian educational models.
Collegium Kingsgate (KsG8) is a Classical academy that combines academic learning with traditional trades. It aims to foster wisdom, Christian values, and a love for Truth, Goodness, and Beauty. Through a blend of the Trivium and Quadrivium, students gain mastery in Classical subjects while also learning practical skills in apprenticed trades like shoemaking, blacksmithing, and carpentry. The school also emphasizes the fine arts, offering activities like fencing, dancing, and painting, alongside initiatives to support the community and provide hands-on learning experiences.
