Calendar

Every other Friday, join families and children (birth to grade school, but open to all) for free* activity and exploration days. Activities include the zoo, field trips, art days, park & playground days, music, and seasonal events. These days are examples of our school’s emphasis of scholé – restful learning. School (which comes from the Greek word scholé) should be from a position of rest and leisure, not panic or worry. We want to free parents to be involved in their children’s education, giving the children a sense of wonder and curiosity.

Upcoming Events:

Thanksgiving in the Woods – Nov. 21, 2025

Friday, November 21
10am-1pm New Glarus Woods State Park.

Enjoy a hike through the woods, time for play, a potluck lunch, and time for giving thanks.

Adults, bring a dish to pass. Children, for a Thanksgiving show-and-tell bring something you are thankful for. Also, come prepared to show everyone else something you are good at doing – something WE can be thankful for!

We’ll meet at New Glarus Woods State Park at the Picnic Shelter/Playground at 10am.

Party with St. Nicholas – Dec. 5, 2025

Friday, December 5, St. Nicholas Day at Sursum Corda.

Enjoy a Christmas party, cookies, decorating, and meet “St. Nicholas”!

This event is open to all families – we love visitors. These Friday activities are perfect opportunities to get to know our small group of teachers, parents, and students, and to learn about the blessings of a hybrid classical education.

Beginning at 9am Friday, Dec. 5 with prayer. At Sursum Corda Classical School, 143 Washington St., Oregon, WI.

St. Lucy’s Tea & Advent/Christmas Program & Procession – Wed., Dec. 10

Wednesday, December 10 at Faith Lutheran Church/Sursum Corda.

In Scandinavia, St. Lucy’s Day is known as the “Festival of Lights,” and celebrates the legend of St. Lucy bringing food to persecuted Christians in the 3rd century. It’s said that St. Lucy wore candles in a wreath on her head to light her way through the catacombs, while keeping her hands free to carry food.

Sursum Corda & the Ladies of Faith Lutheran Church will honor this tradition with a St. Lucy’s Day Tea and candlelight St. Lucia Vespers service on December 10th. Tea, sandwiches and cookies will be served at 5:30pm in the fellowship hall, followed at 6:30pm by the St. Lucia procession and candlelight Vespers service.
