Beyond Classical: The Next Step in Christian Education

Many Christians have embraced Christian school as a spiritually healthy and academically superior method of education. Classical Christian education goes beyond nonclassical Christian education in intellectual development and classroom discipline, but some Christians do not like its emphasis on Reformed theology and the discussion of Greco-Roman writings. These issues are examined, and proposals are made for a more Biblically sound form of Christian education than is currently available. Other issues, such as tuition and the need for practical training, are also examined, and proposals are made to help solve these problems.
