In this episode, we are honored to have Mr. Lance Harris from Wisdom & Truth Classical Academy with us. He has spent over 20 years as a headmaster and educator within the classical Christian education world. Together we dive into one of the most urgent educational debates of our time: the stark contrast between the proven wisdom of classical Christian education and the deepening crises plaguing today's mainstream public school system.
Modern public schools, shaped by progressive ideologies since the early 20th century, often prioritize socialization, equity metrics, and ideological conformity over genuine learning, and thinking. Classical Christian education revives the ancient Trivium (grammar, logic, rhetoric) and Quadrivium, teaching students how to think rather than what to think. It integrates the greatest works of Western civilization with a robust Christian worldview. The goal is not just knowledge, but the cultivation of virtue, eloquence, and a love of truth, goodness, and beauty. We hope you tune in and enjoy this hopeful, reasoned alternative.
