Classical education is a sound and time-tested means of leading students towards intellectual, moral, and civic virtue. A classical education takes a content-rich approach to the study of important subjects. As students mature in the curriculum, classical education teaches them to ask and venture answers to the big questions, then goes further to consider how those questions might be answered persuasively and beautifully. Classical education regards both the humanities and the sciences as equally important, because wonder about human nature and the natural world is essential to the human condition, and that knowledge of both leads us towards wisdom and happiness. Classical education begins by instilling good habits, proceeds by offering examples worthy of emulation, and continues with robust examination of moral philosophy.
