Why Christian Kids Need Classical Christian Schools

As Christian parents and educators, we want to provide God’s best for our children and the children of the church, especially when it comes to their education. We cherish the truth that God calls us to protect and provide for Christian children, but what does God say about the kind of education we should provide for them? In a nutshell, God calls us to provide Christian children with a distinctively Christian education.

But what is a distinctively Christian education? Can we provide a distinctively Christian education by sending Christian children to public schools, non-Christian private schools, or even nominal Christian schools where Christ is not enthroned as Lord of all? What is a classical Christian education, and in what ways does it compare to other forms of Christian education when it comes to transforming hearts and enriching minds?

In these CDs, Douglas Wilson and David Hagopian give Christian parents and educators like you biblical answers to these challenging questions. The highlight CD summarizes four life-changing and challenging lectures, while the full conference contains the unabridged lectures:

The Case against Nominal Christian Schools
If you’re looking for a CD that explains why some Christian schools are Christian in name only, but not in substance, you need to listen to this CD. Nominal Christian schools are schools that are Christian in name, but not distinctively Christian in content. We cannot fulfill our calling to provide our children with a distinctively Christian education by sending them to public schools, non-Christian private schools, or even nominal Christian schools.

The Case for Classical Christian Schools (Part I)
If you’re looking for a CD that explains what makes classical Christian schools truly classical and Christian, you will like this CD. A truly classical Christian education is an education that imparts certain content from a distinctively Christian vantage point. It is an education where students learn not only what Plato says but also what God says about Plato.

The Case for Classical Christian Schools (Part II)
If you’re looking for a CD that explains the heart of the classical method of education, then listen to this CD. It explains the three stages of classical learning where students are given the tools of learning. The grammar stage teaches students to master the facts and building blocks of each course of study (K-5th Grades). The logic stage teaches students how to put all of the facts that they have mastered together and how to reason well with them (6th-8th Grades). The rhetoric stage teaches students how to express themselves powerfully using both the written and spoken word (9th-12th Grades).
