The Case for Classical Christian Education

Published almost twenty years ago, Douglas Wilson’s Case for Classical Christian Education is a call for parents and educators to do more than just teach kids how to read or to do math and science. Instead, parents and teachers need to educate children’s minds, hearts, and imaginations.

Both homeschooling parents and Christians seeking to build schools will find a lot of guidance from this book. Wilson explains the benefits of an education that is both distinctively classical and distinctively Christian and what such an education might look like. He also draws on years of educating and pastoring to talk about how parents and teachers can manage schools well and train their children’s hearts.

Education is not just preparing kids for the job market, but should be about instilling discipline, character, and love for God and the world He has made.

 

Excused Absence

Get them out—now.

Many Christian parents oppose our godless American culture, but how many of us are willing to put our money where our mouth is?

In this short but spicy book, Douglas Wilson calls for Christian parents to remove their kids from public schools. Beginning with the commands in Scripture for parents to raise up their children in the fear and admonition of the Lord, he shows that parents must not send their children to be catechized by unbelieving teachers and peers.

Although he has many hard words for public schools, Doug pulls no punches on parents who assume that a Christian curriculum alone will fix all their problems. Parents need to train their kids’ minds, bodies, and hearts so that they are prepared for the real world. This is a high and difficult calling, but we can look to God’s promises to help us as we train our children.

 

Classical Me, Classical Thee: Squander Not Thine Education

Everyone is so busy giving the classical education to you students that they have forgotten to actually tell you why it matters...

Rebekah Merkle knows which high school classes you like and which you roll your eyes at, which books you enjoy and which you kinda skim. That's because she went through this whole thing called classical education, too: She was a guinea pig in one of the very first classical Christian schools in the country.
Written for students by a (former) student, Classical Me, Classical Thee is lighthearted and—most importantly for you busy high-schoolers—very short. It has a simple goal: to explain why you students are doing what you do in class. (SPOILER: Grades aren't the point—you won't use your knowledge of the Iliad Book 5 every year until you die.)

What you do in class is a drill—and nobody drills for the sake of the drill. You do drills so that you can win the game. The real tragedy, though, would be if you didn't know you were doing drills... or didn't know there was a game at all.
Grades aren't the point. So drill to win.
 

Classical Education and The Homeschool

Homeschooling is an adventure, and it often feels like you're barely keeping ahead of your child. Why do we do it, and how can we do that well?

As we survey the educational ruins around us, classical and Christian education appears to be an idea whose time has come again, both in schools and in homeschools. More and more Christian parents are seeing the failures of modern education, and they are hungering for a substantive alternative, one that has been tested before and found to be good. Classical and Christian education presents them with just such an alternative.

This collection of essays by Douglas Wilson, Douglas Jones, and Wesley Callihan gives both a hearty defense of this kind of education, as well as descriptions of what it should look like on the ground.

Incredible mug!

This mug will be used every month. It doesn’t let you use any cream or sweetener in it. It makes you drink your coffee black. Keeps the No Quarter November feeling alive through the rest of the year!

Homeschool Bundle Sample

I received the homeschool sample particularly interested in the materials for my kindergartener and was very impressed! I will surely be committing to the Logos Presss curriculum!

Nice

It’s a nice long sleeve! It’s a thinner fabric (which I can’t figure out if I like). What I do like about it is how soft it is. A quality shirt indeed.

A gift for my husband. Excellent quality, as expected.

Latin Primer 1
Sarah Griffith
A dream come true

I distinctly remember when I was going into the third grade and so excited to start learning Latin, only to find out public schools no longer taught Latin.

My children and I are enjoying learning Latin together. The 3 year old does the amo chant and says,”Deus made the terra out of nihil!”

The audio tracks are helpful for pronunciation and the vocabulary stories make the words easier to remember.

We also use the flash cards. I print them when we move on to another week.

Most of my kids aren’t able to do the worksheets and quizzes but it’s easy enough to quiz them verbally.

We spend as much time as we need in each week. We take about a month per week and review the past vocabulary words to keep them fresh.
I definitely recommend this curriculum.

Blah Blah Black Sheep

Blah blah blah

My kids love singing blah blah black sheep 😂

It IS abrupt at “ just be a normal sheep”. I think that’s the point though. It stands out and gives you pause.

It’s a great reminder to consider how God had made our children and not to be a fussy auntie sheep type.

We love reading good books to our kids. Thanks for making this one

alright

It was okay. I expected better from Nate. If there's any level of sibling rivalry to stoke, you guys should know that Cranky Danky Dragon takes a much higher standing in our household.

Dickenson's illustrations are on point.

Such a cute book!

It’s a Christmas gift. Have not read it yet.

Compelling, energetic, truthful

I listened to the audiobook on Canon+ and I'm keeping the physical book pages fresh for my daughter (it's a Christmas gift). This is an energetic, earnest, and deeply researched book set in a dystopian future that begs the reader to see the true value of human life. It was a page turner for sure, but it also wasn't without literary beauty or characterization. I was very impressed by Newell's first published book and hope to read more in the future.

Men and Marriage
Dan Kitinoja
Made sense of my experience and observation

As a young man I was reckless at times and could be dangerous to myself and others. When I got married much of that changed rather quickly. I have seen this in other men. Guilders book also made sense of what I see in the culture and also what I saw in my studies as a sociology major. Almost every problem in society was said to be about wealth, class status, gender and education disparity. And the solutions to these problems were always tax the people who work and give it to those who won’t. I always knew that seemed shortsighted and incomplete and most likely incorrect. George Gilder explains why. The reason is that men don’t serve society well when we do not ask them and expect them to feed their families and build a society. This is a must read

Blah blah bold sheep

I bought the book as my nephew's Christmas present and almost kept it. The art is wonderful and it seems like there's more to find each time. The story is perfect for a young boy or even adults looking for a fun story.

I just finished this book and decided to buy it for a friend. I highly recommend!! Such great truths for trusting in the Lord and a great resource for any woman at any age!

Looked like a fun child's read

A little simplistic.
