Episodes
In this episode, we explore in summary fashion the distinctives of Capstone as a classical Christian and Hillsdale member school from a high level summary of curriculum and instruction. This episode is a good starting point for diving more deeply into these distinctives in other school resources.
In this episode we discuss the unique, Christ-centered mission of Golden Gryphon Athletics and what it means to play, coach, cheer, and parent in The Gryphon Way as we form our students and children in the likeness of Jesus.
In this episode, we share why students who exit the classical academy before graduation miss out on the entire aim of the model and why parents should think about all that they have invested in the early years of a classical education before they consider finishing high school in a different model.
In this episode we explore the aim and importance of cultivating rightly ordered affections or desires in our children, the students of the classical academy. St. Augustine, St. Thomas Aquinas, and Jonathan Edwards contribute to this vital conversation on why we seek not just to inform minds but to shape desires in our students.
In this episode, we explore the importance of self-rule to the flourishing of our students and ultimately to the flourishing of the polis (local community) and the American republic and Church. We answer the question, "How does classical Christian education prepare citizens who can handle self-rule?"
In this episode, we discuss the Quadrivium or mathematical arts of the classical liberal arts and discover the role of the mathematical side of classical school studies in cultivating wonder, wisdom, worship, and work. Rather than being disinterested in STEM subjects, classical mathematics and science are the best foundation, coupled with the Trivium, for human flourishing not only in STEM fields but in all of life.
In this episode, we explore the content, purpose, and value of the subjects studied within the Trivium of the liberal arts: grammar, logic, and rhetoric, and why these are not old, washed up subjects but timeless treasures for lifelong learning and human formation.
In this episode, we continue our unpacking of the distinctive of classical Christian education, focusing on the curation and delivery of a rich and ordered curriculum rooted in the liberal arts. This will serve as an introduction to the next two episodes, which will go in depth into the Trivium and the Quadrivium of subjects taught in the classical school.
In our ongoing exploration of the definition of classical education, we explore the role of developing wisdom and virtue in ourselves and our students by practicing intentional habits rooted in the proven practices of the Church and the best of the traditions of the West most congruent with Christ and his Kingdom.
In our ongoing exploration of the unique features and aims of classical Christian education, we discuss the cultivation of moral virtue.
