Classical Education and The Homeschool

July 20, 2026 by Daniel Dignan Leave a Comment

Have you ever wondered what classical Christian education is? This book is a very short primer for parents on the topic. The authors do a great job describing the basics of education and the importance of books, Latin, grammar, logic, and rhetoric.

The main idea is that education requires parental effort and intentionality. Not only must parents encourage their children to read great books, but they must also read them diligently for growth and instruction.

Parental effort and intentionality extend to nurturing character, wonder, imagination, respect, language, knowledge, argumentation, and communication.

Moreover, parents must diligently learn and teach the Christian worldview and help their students love God with everything they have, including their minds. This requires recognizing that God is sovereign over all things.

Finally, the authors recommend books for parental and student education.
