Summary
Classical Education Foundation and Application is a basic overview of the history of classical education along with the methodology application that was laid out in Dorothy Sayers’ work entitled “The Lost Tools of Learning.” Many of our new and even seasoned teachers benefit from a fresh look at the tried and true methods of truly classical education. Even with the many curriculums that are available to use today, it is extremely important that we hone our own artistry as classical teachers and do not neglect our trade.
