What is Classical Education?
Classical education was not only the preferred, but the only form of education in America and the Western world until the turn of the 20th century. It was the education of the founding fathers and of every student who attended a good school until the onset of John Dewey. Learn what this system of education was and how it worked-and how you can master it and implement it in your own home.

The Why & How of Classical Education
The Why & How of Classical Education: In recent years a discovery has been made–perhaps it would be better expressed as a “re-discovery”: we have found that the only form of education known until the 20th century was the now-called “Classical Education”! Find out why that system of education faded out and why it is important to reinstate it in our homes. But Paul Schaeffer will not stop there–get ready for a crash course on how to teach it in your own home!
