Classical Education
Classical Education is a huge category, but it primarily concerns itself with the first three formal subjects of the seven liberal arts: Grammar, Logic, and Rhetoric. This is the formal Trivium in the classical sense. This Trivium is intended to be an academic reflection of the more basic Biblical Trivium, the mental capacities of Knowledge, Understanding, and Wisdom. For parents who want their children to not only receive and gather information, but also to know how to arrange and connect one department of knowledge to the next so clearly that, they can wisely communicate it in their own words to others, then the books in this section are for you and your family.

Woven into this history are the stories of several key English authors, whose prose and poetry have influenced the development of English. Learn how words morph and mutate, how grammar shifts and simplifies, and with some zany word histories thrown in, get a fresh look at English altogether!
Also you’ll learn why the English Bible had an unparalleled impact on the development of our language.
