Teaching for Virtue | K12 - An American Classical Education

The liberal arts in particular and liberal education in general are the surest, most time-tested way to direct students toward a life that is truly free. The liberal arts develop foundational skills that free an individual to investigate the order in things, especially in human speech and in nature, while liberal education embodies the free pursuit and acquisition of more universal knowledge that involves historical, philosophical, and theological inquiries, which are exemplified in the great books.

Hillsdale College is an independent institution of higher learning founded in 1844 by men and women “grateful to God for the inestimable blessings” resulting from civil and religious liberty and “believing that the diffusion of learning is essential to the perpetuity of these blessings.” It pursues the stated object of the founders: “to furnish all persons who wish, irrespective of nation, color, or sex, a literary, scientific, [and] theological education” outstanding among American colleges “and to combine with this such moral and social instruction as will best develop the minds and improve the hearts of its pupils.” As a nonsectarian Christian institution, Hillsdale College maintains “by precept and example” the immemorial teachings and practices of the Christian faith.
The College also considers itself a trustee of our Western philosophical and theological inheritance tracing to Athens and Jerusalem, a heritage finding its clearest expression in the American experiment of self-government under law.
By training the young in the liberal arts, Hillsdale College prepares students to become leaders worthy of that legacy. By encouraging the scholarship of its faculty, it contributes to the preservation of that legacy for future generations. By publicly defending that legacy, it enlists the aid of other friends of free civilization and thus secures the conditions of its own survival and independence.

    As a highschool drop out, this is the kinda school i wish i knew existed. This is a better future of education. Teach our youth to teach themself and never stop growing an learning. Schools like these turn out self relient conscientious humans. Education is the root of a functioning civilized society. This kind of classical education is the foundation we need.

    My wife and I are going to take on the challenge of homeschooling our children. Not only teaching them their curriculum but also adding in the Constitution of United States of America in the history for which we were founded on . And we will also include a daily Bible class . We are curious to see where this will go and We have come to the conclusion that we must be willing to give up worldly possessions to keep our kids safe and secure a future for their them. I would give it all up for them... I know it will be worth it.

    I teach high school art and leadership at a Charter School in Texas that is centered on LEADERSHIP. Although I believe at the inception of our school, the model utilized by Hillsdale was similar in theory and desired by the founders. However, we are no different than the garbage pumped out by public schools. Hillsdale is the benchmark from what I gather. I'm so discouraged and disgusted with my profession that I explained to my wife this very morning, that what I do is not teach...I manage...I babysit. With rare exception, I mainly see brain dead, phone-addicted, vape smoking, sex crazed, hydrocephalic, narcissistic, breathers. And that's just the teachers! Imagine the students. I'm kidding. Most teachers really care and we scratch our heads as we navigate impassable waters. People... Send your children to Hillsdale quality schools...or better yet, Homeschool. The homeschool students we receive on occasion are eons ahead of the twits we try to teach. Unless God is the center of education, it's futile.

    @@jakebredthauer5100 religion that demands good religion is by it's nature a faulty religion. Take the Bible as a comparison. The Bible says "Be thou holy AS God is holy". It's not placing the emphasis on you being a holy person because thats what is demanded, It is saying emulate God. For this is what goodness is. God IS good, it is a part of His very nature. And thus, what we call "good" is not something God simply arbitrarily stated was good, rather, goodness is an aspect of His nature. Concerning your question about why would a person want to be virtuous. because through virtue, we can experience what Aristotle called the Golden Mean. This is needed in order to live a "good life." Not good as in being a 'good person' but rather a 'good life' for the individual.

    We don't have school-age children, but if we did we'd even relocate to get them into a Hillsdale school. If that were not possible, we'd do some variation of home schooling using as much Hillsdale curriculum as possible. The value of a true classical education is beyond measure.

    Public schools operate with their hand tied by politics which is the reason I sent my son to private school. It was the best monetary investment for his future. This particular private school demanded the child's best effort which caused just about all of the kids to strive. It also demanded parent involvement.

    This is very useful. Many good private schools have curriculum focused on critical thinking and basic moral principles. If you can afford it - it is a much better option than homeschooling and of course public schools. These schools generally do not put up with discipline issues on an ongoing basis. In these cases, the kid is invited to leave the school.

    The arts have vanished from so many education system, and families have to supplement, but the more graduates who haven't had any of that kind of education can't give any of it to the kids. The kids are not learning to think or to read literature or write papers anymore. Back when my daughter was in college in the 1990, she needed not just math but writing help before she could get serious about her studies. Her daughter had even less, although schools still have band and theater.

    I’m striving for the same. So far I’m researching The Trivium and classical education. I’m reading everything I can find on it. I’m starting with The Well Trained Mind book as a stepping stone. I’m using Logic of English book to learn and then to teach proper phonics and spelling rules. There are curriculum out there that have it all. They will send you all the books and a schedule. I used that for the first year. Now I’m switching it up a bit and trying to include more classical literature as well as Latin. Another way to emulate would be to research the school’s curriculum that you like and try to implement the parts that best suit your family. I’m still new to this, but I feel this is the best way to educate our children. Hope others have more helpful advice. 😅

    Although it is not exclusive or elitist in content, it is exclusive and elitist in reach. This kind of education is still only available to the wealthy and those who are lucky enough to have the right opportunities in life.

    I'm sure, however, that Jefferson and Madison envisioned public schools that taught classical education like this. Public schools used to, but then lost their way worse and worse until now they don't even teach reading, writing, and arithmetic well, much less all the rest. Parents would not be striving en masse for alternatives to public school if those schools were still giving a true classical education.

    Does this school allow the poorer segment of society access to this school? I was once a middle class, white male, who was educated and well established. An industrial injury dropped me into a much lower income category. Any person who desires an education, (not indoctrination) should have access to one. May our LORD GOD have mercy on the republic! I see too many young people who are dropped in "liberal" schools that focus on inclusion, diversity, and deconstructionism of our history.
