How does classical education apply in the modern world?
Classical education is as well-suited to modern day learning as it was in the past. Modern subjects in science and technology are taught in classical schools using classical methods. Classical education teaches students facts, provides them with logical tools to understand and use those facts, and perfects the students’ abilities to relate those facts to others. These skills, combined with timeless biblical wisdom, are the very tools needed in a quickly changing society. Is classical education only for gifted students? No. All students benefit from the classical method. Our students range from those working below grade level to those working several levels beyond their grade. The classical method challenges students and helps them to take advantage of their natural abilities at each stage of learning. Can students from a traditional education experience integrate quickly into the classical method? Yes. While there is an initial adjustment period, students can be successfully integrated
