Description

As parents, we often reflect on the shortcomings of our own education, especially if we grew up in public schools. With a clear sense of what we want to avoid for our children, the question arises: What should we provide them with instead? The authors of "Repairing the Ruins," a group of experienced teachers and school administrators, grappled with the same question when they embarked on their educational journey. Their answer, rooted in tradition and faith, lies in classical Christian education.

In "Repairing the Ruins," the authors illuminate what sets classical Christian education apart from contemporary methods and why it offers a distinctly Christian alternative. They explain the "Whys and Hows" of the Trivium, providing valuable insights for parents who desire to give their children a solid foundation in classical Christian education. This collection equips parents with practical guidance on curriculum planning, wisdom in designing education that nurtures the heart and mind, and even advice on launching their own educational endeavors.

Edited by the esteemed Douglas Wilson, this compilation features essays by experienced educators, including Tom Garfield, Chris Schlect, Douglas Jones, and Tom Spencer, each contributing their expertise to the cause of restoring education to its rightful place. "Repairing the Ruins" offers comfort, guidance, and direction to parents who seek to provide their children with a transformative and spiritually grounded education.
