THE NEED
In March 2023, Kevin Mahnken published an article in The
74 entitled, “Amid the Pandemic, a Classical Education Boom:
What if the Next Big School Trend Is 2,500 Years Old?” The
article describes a movement in schools to recover classical
education. This movement is occurring in some parochial
schools, but especially in the growing number of independent
schools.
While these schools are recognizing the importance
of classical education, many are lacking faculty and
administrators who fully understand just what classical
education is and who have the background and the skills to
teach in this way.
There is a growing need for teachers who are dedicated to
classical education and who are properly trained to teach
classical curricula.
