Classical Et Cetera

Classical Education is NOT SIMPLY Intellectual Development

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.*

Memoria Press Is Home Educating In The UK! | Classical Curriculum Around The World!

Our founder, Cheryl Lowe, began binding and selling her own Latin books in the 1990s to make classical education accessible for young students. Now, we have started a big project to achieve the same goals and much more in the UK and Europe! Today, Classical Et Cetera sits down with our special guest, Brian Lapsa, to talk about the challenges that home educators face in the UK, the decline in academic standards in public education, and the strong desire for accessible curriculum for homes educators around the world. They'll talk about how Memoria Press is gearing up to offer resources, organize conferences and workshops, and adapt our curriculum for a UK and European context. We are working to bridge the gap between the rich heritage of classical education in Europe and the modern-day needs of home educators everywhere.
