The Recovery of Real Education

What is classical education and what is it designed to do?

Here is a collection of eleven articles that discuss the traditional view of education as a mechanism to pass on our civilization to our children. And not just any civilization, but the civilization of the Christian West – the civilization that grew out of the cultures of three cities: Athens, Rome, and Jerusalem, cultures which were taken, transformed, and transmitted by Western Christianity for over 1,500 years and which, though beset today by other, non-academic educational agendas, are still the basis of life and learning.

These articles are taken largely from two issues of Memoria Press’ magazine, The Classical Teacher – two issues with articles that garnered more responses from our readers than any others, and which we thought were worthy of reading again.
