Why Classical Education in the Catholic Tradition?
Classical education emphasizes content-rich literature, a deep understanding of history, the fundamental principles in math and science, and a deep appreciation for art and music. Rather than moving quickly through topics and gleaning only the highlights, classical education advocates for the mastery of subjects. It encourages asking questions, looking for original sources, and connecting our faith to all that is learned. These skills are essential and highly valuable for any career, mission, or role. It also fosters a true love of learning.
