North Idaho Classical Academy Principle Jacob Francom joins Ted to discuss the new school coming to Bonners Ferry.
Opening is set for August, 2026 and the school hopes to compliment the various other schools in North Idaho.
Ted wonders what a classical academy is, and Jacob explains what it is and what it isn't.
The former Troy Montana school district superintendent is excited about the potential of the school focusing on knowledge and virtue while training the minds and the hearts of the students.
The area seems ready for the new approach as parents of 600 students have expressed interest in the school, but only 240 seats are available.
Meanwhile, Ted has to consider the opportunity to be the school's mascot. Whatever that mascot might be.
