Logos School is a private, classical Christian school and is a member of the Association of Classical and Christian Schools (ACCS). Logos provides a classical Christian education. It is located in Moscow, Idaho. Logos School is one of the first Classical Christian schools in the modern movement.[1] Its teaching approach is discussed in the book Recovering the Lost Tools of Learning.[2]
Logos has numerous connections to Christ Church in Moscow.[3] It is organized as a limited liability company.[4] It was founded in 1981 by Douglas Wilson.[1]
A number of former students of the school have reported that the school enforces modest dress, "Godly" gender roles, "prompt and cheerful obedience" to teachers, and the prohibition of romantic relationships between students. Former students have also reported being sexually abused and touched by teachers, spanked by school administrators, and asked about their sexual activities by teachers at the school. As of 2013, the school handbook allows spanking to be used as a form of punishment, as well as "any other measures consistent with biblical guidelines which maybe appropriate".[3]
One student reported being taught that "the curse of Cain was black skin" and that "Black is the color of Satan and white the color of good".[3]
In May 2021, a former student of the Logos school launched a project on YouTube to document testimonies of students who report abuse at the school. The project claims to have compiled allegations from 27 different students, and its organizers claim that doing so has resulted in them receiving online threats, such as a picture of a knife.[3]
