What is classical education?

​Classical education is the homeschool style that is probably the least like anything you are going to find from the public school system. There are more and more private schools that are classically based though and they are opening all over the country.

The end goal of this style is to teach students how to become lifelong learners. There is an emphasis placed on seeking after truth, beauty, and goodness. This holistic approach to learning is meant to teach students to be critical thinkers and to develop a deep sense of moral character. 

You teach kids to become this way by teaching them through the tenets of the trivium. The trivium consists of 3 stages: grammar, dialectic, and rhetoric. These are often called the 3 tools of learning. ​
