Classical Christian education was the foundation for schools in early American history. Most teachers or instructors were ministers who were educated in classical languages, Protestant theology, and literature.

As a result, students studied the bible in its original Greek and Hebrew along with other classics in Greek.

Classical Christian education often produces students that are amazing leaders and thinkers. A rigorous and challenging education made this type of education a winning service.

Unfortunately, our nation's education system has no regard for a commodity of this value. The current system operates on classless, irrational changes that makes degrees meaningless as far as showing us a person's ability to reason and think.

In contrast, education of the past, such as Classical Christian education, is equated with book knowledge and hard work.

For the most part, the ability to analyze, reason, and look at things from other perspectives come from reading. Classical Christian education develops this scholarly skill so that students can understand and apply the Scriptures.

In Colonial America, education was not just Christian in the teachings of the Christian doctrine and faith, but also in classifying all reality by principles and teachings prescribed in the Bible. The colonial mind approached education, philosophy, and social theories through Christian lenses.

Classical Christian education has been alive and well in America since the early 1900s. It's rooted not only in Christian values and principles, but also in high academic standards. The results have been phenomenal.

Can we achieve the same results today? Is it even possible to teach in the same way when our teachers have absolutely no training in the classical method? Well, to start with, we need to use the tools we have.

We can teach from the Bible. We can teach from centuries of classic texts. There are great works of literature, history, science, and theology that are translated into English.

While it might seem as though Classical Christian education is outdated, the design is sound; it can produce a student who has the reasoning and analytical ability to read a profound book, then write a compelling essay about it. And more than anything else, it is designed to lead students to God.
