2021 Workshop Talk | 55:48 | Operations & Facilities, Teacher & Classroom, General Classroom
Summary
Classical Christian schools seek to cultivate wisdom and virtue through the contemplation of truth, goodness, and beauty and the acquisition of the liberal arts. Curricula and instructors impact students’ love of learning and challenge thinking beyond lessons. But how do spaces within schools help us achieve our mission? The classical classroom requires a unique aesthetic. Workshop attendees will see photos and receive a list of artworks and other materials used by one school to create an environment that stimulates the mind and engages students in peaceful, calm spaces. Learn how to establish a classical aesthetic that supports your mission and model.
