There is no such thing as a neutral education. Do you believe this?

If you do, then you should give careful consideration to the idea of fusing classical education with Christian education.

Classical education has always been based on an ideal: the greatness of the culture of classical Greece, with some consideration given to Rome, which adopted many Greek ideals.

A really first-rate classical education in England in 1650 or America in 1750 involved a detailed study of Greek and Latin texts -- Latin more than Greek. The training took at least ten years to prepare a student for college. Then there were four more years of advanced training in classical texts. This tradition goes back to the later Middle Ages.

Only an educated elite received a classical education. This education served as a social screening system for high-level positions in Anglo-American society before 1800. Attendance at colleges that taught this curriculum was far more important than earning a degree from them.

There are Christian day schools and home school programs that promise to provide a high-level classical education for Christian students.

Are you sure you want this for your child? I want to go over some of these issues with you before you decide.

This site offers a non-classical Christian education. There are reasons for this. After you read my reports, you will understand this better.

One more question: If I offered to sell you a Darwininan Christian curriculum, would you pay for it and have your children use it for a dozen years? No? But classical education was humanist education prior to Darwin.
