What is Classical Education?
Christian Classical Education is the cultivation of wisdom and virtue by nourishing the soul on the true, the good, and the beautiful by means of the seven liberal arts so that, in Christ, the student is better able to know, glorify and enjoy God.
~ Andrew Kern, Circe Institute
