What is Classical Education?
Classical education belongs to the authoritative, traditional and enduring stream of education begun by the
Greeks and Romans, developed by the Church through the centuries and renewed by contemporary
educators. Infused with the liberal arts and sciences, classical education includes the language arts of the
trivium (grammar, logic and rhetoric) and the quantitative arts of the quadrivium (mathematics, science,
music and visual arts). Students study great works of art and literature, both old and new, by methods best
suited to their developmental stages. As participants in the great conversation of history's finest thinkers,
students acquire more than vocational skills; they prepare for their roles as informed citizens, thinking
Christians and virtuous shapers of culture.
