Tools of Learning<\/h3>\n

I don’t agree with a lot of Classical (Greek) education, but the Bluedorns approach is different. It is a Christian approach for teaching our children to learn and think – through a Biblical perspective. And I really like that it is a gentle approach in the early years. In our Resources & Recommendations Online Catalog on our General Home Ed Resources page. ~ Me<\/strong><\/p>\n

Teaching the Trivium<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a>How can you give your children the tools they need to teach themselves?<\/strong>\u00a0Long ago students were first taught how to learn. Today, students are taught an encyclopedia of subjects \u2013 trivia \u2013 but they are not taught the basic skills of learning: to discover, to reason, and to apply. They are not taught the Trivium.<\/p>\n

Can you homeschool in a classical style without compromising your Christian principles?<\/strong>\u00a0Because we are Christians, we do not want to pursue non-Christian goals. Classical Education must be sifted through the critical screen of the Scriptures to be transformed into a Biblical model.<\/p>\n

Can you homeschool in a classical style without buckling under the burden?<\/strong>\u00a0There is only so much time in the day. For every subject, and for every age, we have a workable plan \u2013 which leaves you free to breathe. You can continue to use other approaches to homeschooling within the framework of Classical Education.<\/p>\n

Is homeschooling about renewing family vision?<\/strong>\u00a0The family is at the heart of God\u2019s plan for restoring Christian culture. Homeschooling is not alternative education. Homeschooling was here first. We want to restore Biblical order to education.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
