Though downplaying the existence of God has become the norm, the classical homeschool curriculum understands that educating children about God, life on Earth, and life after death are not just important, but of the utmost importance. Theology is no longer respected in academia and subjects such as Bible, Latin and Christian Philosophy are now called outdated, narrow and elitist. As a result, secular educators have altered curricula to exclude traditional books and ideas in favor of modern humanistic thinking. This is because public schools have deemed a Christian worldview as unintelligible or inappropriate due to America’s belief in religious freedom. The rise of secularism has attacked long-taught subjects of education. A classical homeschool curriculum teaches grammar, dialectic and rhetoric through a Christian worldview-and uses an educational approach ideally suited to a child’s natural learning style. This is especially true regarding classical education. Subjects deemed classical are worthy of more time, more study, more engagement and more consideration.

When you hear the word, “classical,” what comes to mind? There is classical music, classical architecture, classical dance, classical art, classical novels and so much more! This adjective normally connotes something that throughout history that has validated itself to be worthy of ongoing recognition and interest from generation to generation.
