Welcome to Ask Andrew, a weekly podcast where Andrew Kern (President of the CiRCE Institute and co-author of the book, Classical Education: The Movement Sweeping America) contemplates important ideas, essential terms, and unavoidable themes in classical education–and what they mean for the day-to-day of teaching and learning. 
In this episode, Andrew answers a question about the preeminent role of astronomy (and the study of cosmology) in the quadrivium, and thus in a traditional classical education.
