2022 Foundations Talk | 58:42 | Teacher & Classroom, General Classroom
Summary
The river of classical Christian education is long, deep, and full of twists and turns. It winds back into the ages with its many creeks and tributaries that offshoot here and there. We’re all floating down this river together, but how did we get here? Where has this river come to us from, and where is it taking us? More importantly, where are we sending our students off to in the boats around us?
We need to be able to look back and clearly see what classical Christian education is, how the tradition has come to us, and why we believe it is still effective today. After all, many of us hope to give away an education to our students that we did not receive ourselves. This talk aims to help us better understand what classical Christian education is and give us a clear vision for how it can continue to shape the students of the future.
