Classical Education Creates a Well-Trained Mind

Classical approach to more effective and healthy education Classical education is an educational approach dating back more than 2000 years. Ancient Greeks came up with the original model, which was further updated and developed over time. Although that approach is old, classical educational models are not time-saving, they are used worldwide as an alternative to government and public education systems. This approach provides students with tools to learn through natural liberal arts research. And it teaches a way to learn rather than learning.

Education for "a well-trained mind: a guide to family classics" issued by Jessie Wise and Susan Wise Bauer (WW Norton, 1999), especially contemporary references for classical education at home. In the environment. It provides a classic educational history, a classical educational methodology and an overview of philosophy, and a list of book notes by grade and subject. And we list the best books for classical education in each category.

Classical education depends on three parts of the process of training mind. In the early stages of school you can absorb facts and build a foundation for systematically advanced research. At the junior high school level, students learn to think through discussion. At high school, they learned to express themselves. This classical mode is called trivium. The first few years of the school is called "grammatical phase" - not just because you spent four years English, but just as grammar is the basis of language, these are the foundations of all other learning It is the year that I built. In elementary school - we usually think from first grade to fourth grade - we are ready to absorb information. Children of this age actually found fun of memory. Therefore, during this period, education does not include self-expression and self-discovery, including learning facts.

Usually, when people hear "classical" they think what underlies classical education: wonderful books, classical language, critical thinking and Socratic discussion. We will do our best to combine these. Examples of "boxed lessons" are Corbe, Angelicum, and mother of Divine Grace. You can design your design after them or design your own design with the help of a book designed for your own classic course or well trained mind. There seems to be some changes in the "classics" of all the home schools, but all of us share a common theme. We want children to be able to read, write, think, infer, connect, analyze, process information, and learn what they have learned in their daily lives. We hope that children nurture the love of learning and know that he is ultimately responsible for his own education.
