What is Classical Education?

admin — Thu, 25 Apr 2013 01:31:56 +0000

Is Geneva really different from the other Christians schools in our area?

What really is the difference between the classical and Christian model and other models of education?

Dr. Christopher Perrin, in his article, What is Classical Education? (www.veritasgreenville.com) says this about historical classical training:

“Classical education has..traditionally emphasized:

The training of leaders: those governing and leading culture were educated classically while others were trained for particular jobs and tasks
Reflection and leisure: time for discussion, thought and application was a necessary part of acquiring wisdom, capacity and skill
A common curriculum: students all studies the essential curriculum of the seven liberal arts which were thought to prepare students for any profession or field of endeavor
Interaction with tradition: the knowledge, wisdom and art of the past were honored and studied for present use
Innovation according to need: classical education adapted to new geography, circumstances, discoveries and continued with “theme and variation”
Partnership with the church: education was informed and guided by church liturgy, teaching, training and financial support
Training affections and the intellectual virtues: educators sought to shape and form the student and not merely inform him. Students were taught to “love that which is lovely” and acquire the virtues necessary to be eager and excellent seekers of truth.”

These are the same modern goals we have set today. Geneva seeks to create a community of learning, characterized by academic rigor, warmth and delight and involving vibrant interaction of teachers, parents, friends and others.

Tour our campus and see how we are accomplishing these goals.
