A major hit piece in the liberal media might be what most schools fear, but for one prominent private school in Kentucky, the hit reveals the extent to which the establishment fears the rising power of classical Christian schools. In other words, we now have their attention.
I see the rise of the classical Christian education movement as one of the most encouraging developments of our times. Seen correctly, those three words belong together. They cohere in a distinctive model of education that is, in truth, a recovery of one that would have been considered the gold standard among educators in previous generations. It is driven by an educational philosophy deeply rooted in classical Greece and Rome, channeled through the Middle Ages, and was updated and explicitly adopted by leading educators on both sides of the Atlantic generations ago. I am a vocal proponent of classical Christian education, and I am proud that my grandchildren are in a classical and Christian school.
