What is Classical Christian Education?
Classical Christian education is the cultivation of wisdom of virtue by nourishing the soul on the good, the true, and the beautiful by means of the seven liberating arts so that in Christ the student is better able to know, glorify, and enjoy God. Classical Christian education is rooted in Christ and expressed through formational learning of the arts and skills of learning, which are applied to Great Books and Great Ideas so that students can learn how to enter into conversations that have been ongoing throughout human history. Who is God? What is man? How should we live? How do we come to learn and know anything? These are just a handful of the big questions that humans have sought to answer throughout history, and classical Christian education is designed to form students into lifelong learners who ask and answer these questions in ways consistent with the Christian faith and in conversation with leading voices in history.
