Mr. Isaac Johnson

Hailing from Lansing, Michigan, Mr. Johnson joined CLASSICAL in 2023 after serving as the founding School Leadership Fellow in Hillsdale College’s K-12 Education Office while in residence at Hillsdale Academy. Prior to his career in K-12 education, Mr. Johnson led operations for Hillsdale’s free online courses program, which has now produced over 50 courses and consists of over 4 million students nationwide. While attending Hillsdale College, the faculty, staff, and students recognized him as the Outstanding Senior Man of his graduating class. Mr. Johnson then went on to complete a master’s degree from the University of Dallas in their nationally recognized Classical Education Program, which trains school leaders and teachers in the principles and practices of classical education through a sound, time-tested course of study in the traditional liberal arts and great books.

In addition to his administrative duties, Mr. Johnson teaches Literature and Philosophy in the upper school, each year introducing students to Homer, Plato, the Greek tragedians, Cicero, Vergil, Augustine, Shakespeare, Swift, Tolstoy, and C.S. Lewis.
