A non-profit group dedicated to expanding the reach and influence of classical Christian education.

Explain Classical Christian education to a modern audience

In 2005, David Goodwin, the headmaster of Foundations Academy in Boise, Idaho, created this 20 page, full-color booklet to explain classical Christian education to an uninitiated audience.  He used his experience in the corporate marketing world to develop a piece that was convincing and interesting.  The booklet is designed so that it can be read in pieces with heavy use of graphics, like a magazine.  Each page is self-contained.  No articles span more than 2 pages.  This makes it a resource that gets used. 

Over 70 classical Christian schools are now using this booklet in prospective parent packets, with current parents, and in capital campaigns to communicate the essence of classical Christian education. Over 20,000 copies are in circulation.  Startup schools and established schools find that their parents are more committed when they understand the difference between classical and modern education.  Please view the following PDF for a preview under "Parent essentials".
