“If I only had a heart” –> “Lift up your hearts!”
March 21, 2017 was when the refurbishment began to restore Oregon’s water tower, nicknamed the “Tin Man.” It was like it was given a new life, maybe even a new heart.
When we leave school from Sursum Corda, I find it appropriate that as we walk up the stairs, we look up and see the Tin Man directly in view.
Its namesake, the Tin Man from the Wizard of Oz lamented “If I only had a heart…” In the end, he found what was missing. At Sursum Corda, we aim to give students that which is missing. We seek to “lift up students hearts,” to fill their education not merely with facts or ideology, but with truth, goodness, and beauty. In other words, the stuff of the heart.
These come from outside of us, for inside of us cold and empty like the Tin Man. It is God who gives us a new heart. From Him we learn to appreciate what is good, true, and beautiful, and in response to be creators ourselves of that which is good, true, and beautiful in the world.
In the words of the Tin Man from the classic book, “I have no heart, and so I must be very careful. I had brains, and a heart also; so, having tried them both, I should much rather have a heart.”
Things are moving forward! On Sunday, January 21, the Voters of Faith Lutheran Church (our ministry partner) set the budget for Sursum Corda Classical School for 2024, which means we can now set and share the tuition for our first cohort of students this coming fall! More information will be shared at our first Dinner & Informational Program here at Sursum Corda / Faith Lutheran Church at 143 Washington St. Oregon, WI on February 4th at 4pm.
Come learn about us on Sunday, February 4 at 4pm!
We’re opening a new school in Oregon,WI! Our goal is to create an education to “lift up hearts” (sursum corda in Latin). We are looking for families to be a part of the first core group and cohort for the school, as well as patrons who want to provide more opportunities for Christian education for youth.
Hear from our Headmaster, Pastor Jeff Hendrix, who will share the philosophy behind classical education, what it means for students to be free to discover what is true, good, and beautiful, and what motivates us to involve parents in their children’s education. Some general information on the school will be shared as well.
A classically-centered program for children in K-3 will be offered during the presentation. A free meal (sloppy joes and mac & cheese) will be provided!
