Classical Christian Education
Getting to Know What it's All About
If you are new to the concept of Classical Christian Education then you have come to the right place to start learning. Though it is hard to succinctly capture the essence of classical Christian education the following are some key facets:
An emphasis on the Lordship of Jesus Christ over all human affairs and learning
An emphasis on the formation of virtue in the lives of students
An emphasis on the classical Liberal Arts (Grammar, Logic, Rhetoric, Arithmetic, Geometry Astronomy, and Music)
A return to the study of the classical languages (particularly Latin and Greek)
A return to the study of primary source texts (reading complete texts written by some of the greatest minds in the ancient, medieval, and modern world)
A return to methods of engaging student which are effective in eliciting their participation in their education rather than being mere bystanders
Below you will find a growing collection of articles to help you to understand this distinctively different approach to education and how it stands apart from the typical contemporary model education utilized in most public schools.

Once again Jacob, I appreciate the repost. I’m not sure if I’ll ever get there in this life but I sure am encouraged to dig a little deeper even if I run out of time in this life. Shalom brother. I’m not a paid subscriber yet but I certainly feel the need to pull that trigger. I have a Canon plus subscription and listening to Doug and the crew in Moscow. I also began listening to Ad Nassium and those guys crack me up. Eric Con and Brian Sauve down in Utah are also opening up some new thoughts and ideas about life on Earth. Merry Christmas bro.
