The Geneva School is a Christian classical, private, coeducational day school, founded in 1993. The Geneva School offers Pre-K through 12th grade on two campuses. The main campus (1st through 12th grade) and the Early Childhood Campus are situated in Winter Park, Florida, near Orlando, Florida. Geneva is accredited by the Florida Council of Independent Schools and the Florida Kindergarten Council and is a member of the Association of Classical and Christian Schools. Though the school claims to be unaffiliated and non-denominational, the majority of the families, teachers, and staff are Protestant. Though most of the families at The Geneva School are Christian, the school does not require that its students or their parents provide any statement of faith or attendance at a local church. All staff are required to sign a statement of faith in keeping with Reformed Christian theology.〔http://www.genevaschool.org/about-us/christian-distinctives/statement-of-faith〕 The total enrollment for 2012–13 is about 450 students, Pre-K–12. This includes around 280 students in PK–6 and 170 in grades 7–12. ==Academics== Geneva employs the ''trivium'' model of education in an attempt to return to the classical methods of education used by the ancients and medievals, but largely abandoned in the modern world. This distinctive classical approach to education is the basis for the school's entire academic program. Under this model, students are ideally given training in facts (grammar), logical thinking ability (dialectic), and communication skills (rhetoric) that will allow excellence in any higher discipline or vocation. While the trivium is nothing new, the idea of focusing upon each of these three liberal arts roughly during the grammar, middle-school, and high school periods, respectively, applied by many classical preparatory schools today, can be traced to Dorothy Sayers' influential essay, ''The Lost Tools of Learning''.〔Sayers, GBT, ISBN 978-1-60051-025-0.〕〔http://www.gbt.org/text/sayers.html〕 A Geneva education is designed to recover the disciplines and provide the benefits of this proven historical approach in the context of modern, Reformed Christianity.〔http://genevaschool.org/distinctives_classical.html〕
