As parents, it is easy for us to look back and see the shortcomings of our own education. But what exactly should we give them instead? The authors of Repairing the Ruins, a group of experienced teachers and school administrators, found a tried and true answer in classical Christian education. Here they explain what makes classical Christian education different from modern methods and why it offers a distinctly Christian alternative. Building upon this foundation, the authors provide parents with the "Whys and Hows" of the Trivium, tips on planning curriculum, wisdom in designing education to serve the heart as well as the mind, and advice on starting up schools.
