Classical Education is NOT SIMPLY Intellectual Development
Wednesday Feb 14, 2024
Wednesday Feb 14, 2024
There's more to a holistic classical education than a heady pursuit of knowledge. Education isn't just about intellectual development, it's about forming affections, emotions, intellect and spirit.
Our founder Cheryl Lowe said that teachers _have failed_ if students don't *cry* when Hector is killed or when Priam begs Achilles for this body of his son. A holistic classical education exposes students to the best art, music, and literature to cultivate students' _love_ of *the true, the good, and the beautiful.*
