Prospective Parents

Welcome

We are always seeking new students and families that will contribute to our community and vision.  While we do fill many of our grades, we strongly encourage you to apply.  We frequently have openings due to family relocations or economic conditions.

Why choose The Ambrose School?

Please watch this 5 minute video that shows the spirit and mission of our school.  If you’d like to see more, visit our Ambrose Webcast Channel to see a variety of short excerpts from events around the school.

Why do parents and students choose The Ambrose School?

  1. Christian worldview: We start with biblical theology in every subject we teach.  Classical Christian education doesn’t add a bible class, or a worldview class.  It uses biblical principles to completely rework the way we approach education.
  2. Strong academics: Idaho school standards rank near the bottom nationally1.  We want to help students succeed nationwide and worldwide by offering a strong academic alternative in the Boise Valley.
  3. Thinking, articulate students: Rather than simply filling students’ minds with facts, we go further to develop a student’s ability to think, reason, read, write and speak well.
  4. Not a ”conveyor belt” education: Our “humane letters” approach is well rounded, allowing students to become learners in music, art, literature, philosophy, theology, math, and science.
  5. Great teachers, great students: Our teachers are hired from across the nation, around the world, and right here in Boise.  They share a unique love for the pursuit of truth.  And, they are passionate not only about their subjects, but about inspiring students to learn.  Our students know why they’re here, and they want to be here.  This community of teachers and students is essential for great education.
