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.
The Bible was studied by students in its original Hebrew and Greek. They also read Greek classics in the original language.
Many of the most brilliant leaders and thinkers were a direct result of classical Christian education. The challenging and rigorous education forces the students to think and reason, which is why it's a winning system.
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.
Other educational models of the past, such as Classical Christian education, have a foundation in working hard and acquiring book knowledge.
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.
