What does Scio mean?
Scio is the latin verb for “I know”. It also is the latin verb that english derives the word for science from. In latin, the c is traditionally always hard while the i makes a long e sound. Thus scio is pronounced skē — ō.
Our academy is named Scio because we strive to gain knowledge. We want to know God and his creation. We even strive to know how to know or learn everyday. As we work to know an infinite God we are humbled by the fact that ‘the more we know, the more we know we don’t know’. Thus, scio is our reminder that while “I know, I don’t know all”. Maybe we should be called, Scio nescio omnia.
