Susan Wise Bauer, author of The Well-Trained Mind: A Guide to Classical Education at Home defines classical education in this essay.

 

Classical education is perhaps the most time-tested educational methodology.  A noted author and classical teacher, Martin Cothran, wrote a great essay about the Founding Fathers' classical education.



Oxford scholar and author Dorothy Sayers (a colleague of C.S. Lewis and Tolkien) also gave a speech about the importance of classical education that is a must-read for anyone concerned about education.
