Insights for and from Parents – Putting Classical Principles into Practice (and our first Reader’s Survey!)

[Take our first-ever Reader’s Survey here.]

Coming to the end of the school year is a good time to revisit why we’ve chosen the classical approach. In that spirit, we’re collecting a handful of contemporary classical sources—e.g., on the spirit of inquiry (Society for Classical Learning), the focus on human flourishing (University of Dallas), and the conservation of human civilization (Russell Kirk Center).

As we continue to scour for more, we thought it best to crowd-source this question by asking our readers: What resources you have found helpful in articulating a principled approach to classical education?
