Classical Christian Education 101: Introduction

But Sanctify Christ as Lord in your hearts, always being ready to make a defense to everyone who asks you to give an account for the hope that is in you, yet with gentleness and reverence.

1 Peter 3:15


At Glencoe Classical Academy, God has recently put a burden on the hearts of the administrators and the teachers. This burden comes from the realization that many of our students’ parents do not have a clear understanding of classical Christian education (cCe). As GCA continues to grow and mature, we’re becoming overwhelmingly aware of the need for us to better inform our parents regarding cCe. We should not only be committed to investing in children by using the classical Christian methodology; we should also be committed to investing in their parents by familiarizing them with cCe and their child and our community’s need for cCe.

In order to begin better informing parents, we’ll be writing a series of blog posts all centering on the fundaments of classical Christian education. Each weekly post will describe one of the foundational characteristics of cCe, and it may even include an explanation as to how GCA embodies that aspect of cCe. Our prayer is that, through these blog posts, you will come to embrace cCe as much as those of us here at GCA do. We want you to see our love and passion for cCe and for that commitment to be contagious!
