Picture it. You're a school administrator or homeschool parent eager to take your school and students into the world of classical education. You've read the books, done the research, prepared your reading list, and are ready to get started. And then the pushback starts. Your students, parents, and maybe other family members don't understand what you're going for. What's the point of all this hard work? What is classical education? What's the point of making a change in the first place? Don't worry. We've heard this story before. Today Memoria Press and Classical Et Cetera are here to share our experience in transitioning preschool, kindergarten, high school, and homeschool families and administration into a classical model. We sit down with Kathy Becker, a classical school expert, to talk about the challenges, trials, and joys of transitioning from a modern, public, progressive school model towards a classical education and traditional pedagogy. Join us at the table as we discuss the importance of training in a liberal arts education, instilling traditional values into your homeschool or classroom setting, getting teacher and parent buy-in on the philosophy of your new vision, and how a comprehensive curriculum will go a long way to getting started in classical Christian education.
