A Classical Education by Kate Kessler

A Classical Education by Kate Kessler is a 9-page WeE-book from The Old Schoolhouse Store containing an interview with Christine Miller, author of All Through the Ages and creator of Classical Christian Homeschooling.

I read this book desiring to learn more about classical education. That is, however, not the scope of this book. It is a brief overview of Mrs. Miller's life and homeschooling journey as it relates to classical education. Detailed information on classical education can be found on her website. These three nuggets that Mrs. Miller mentioned in the interview confirmed what we have already been trying to accomplish in our home.

One, it is extremely important to be your teen's closest mentor during those potentially turbulent high school years.

Two, our main job as a parent and homeschooling teacher is to teach Godly character. Academics, although important, are secondary.

Three, practicality if primary. Taking on too much is dooming yourself to failure.

The book provides encouraging tidbits for homeschoolers desiring to provide their children a classical education. It also provides sources to further educate yourself on the topic.
