Words from a few friends:
Those looking for a brief, readable introduction to classical and Christian education have now found it. Gregg Strawbridge does an admirable job of clearly explaining this resurgent (and potent) philosophy of education within the compass of just a few pages.
—Douglas Wilson, author of Recovering the Lost Tools of Learning
According to Gregg Strawbridge in this very helpful booklet, it is simply a conscious return to those academic disciplines and methodologies which helped to spark the great cultural flowering of West- ern Christendom over the past thousand years, emphasizing the basic thinking and character skills necessary to launch young men and women on a lifetime journey of growth and learning. If that seems to be a bit of a mouthful, just dip into these pages and discover how down-to-earth this common sense approach to excellence in education can be—and then imagine how its application might bring about a new flowering in our culture.
—George Grant,Ph.D.,
About the the author: Gregg Strawbridge (Ph.D. in education and philosophy) wrote the original draft of this booklet in 1997 for a school transitioning to the classical model. Having sold over 50,000 copies (and now thousands more), it has perhaps the widest publication of any one book or booklet in the classical Christian education movement. Dr. Strawbridge has served on the boards of three Christian schools, the last being Veritas Academy (Lancaster, PA) - for over a decade. His wife is the first grade teacher at Veritas Academy (since 2003) and his three daughters are graduates. So it is with decades of experience at the ground level that this short introduction presents classical Christian education. Enjoy!
