2024 Foundations Talk | | Culture & Faith, Theology & Bible, Virtue, Character, Discipline
Summary
In this Foundation of Classical Christian Excellence workshop, we will explore the richness of the biblical vision of paideia. As classical Christian educators, we want our students to be thoroughly converted, that is, real Christians, all the way down. The paideia of God refers to the immersive process by which children are enculturated into the Christian faith. It covers everything from the habits of heart and mind that we seek to impart to our students, as well as to the air that they breathe in our classrooms and in our homes as we seek to help them grow up into maturity in Christ.
