About Cyprus Classical Academy

About Cyprus

Sapere Aude - Dare to be Wise

At Cyprus Classical Academy, our motto is "Sapere Aude - Dare to be Wise."  This is not simply a motto. It is a call to courage for the gifted learners who walk through our doors. Wisdom isn't about knowing all the answers. It begins when you dare to put down your perfectionism. It grows when you have the courage to try something difficult, to fail, and to get up again. Wisdom happens when you realize that failure is not the opposite of success, it’s the path to it.
​

At Cyprus, we call our students to bravery. Sometimes that bravery means walking away from the comfort of the status quo, from a traditional school system that didn’t fit, and daring to step into a place where learning looks different — a place where curiosity is celebrated and where struggle is part of the process. Wisdom isn’t something you’re born with. It’s something you build — by showing up each day with courage, and the willingness to grow.

To the students who sense there’s more to learning than what they’ve been offered, this is your invitation. Dare to take the first step. Dare to find a place where you can grow, question, and truly belong.
Sapere Aude – Dare to be Wise.
