Classical Education Making a Comeback
A landmark study conducted across 150 schools is set to reveal compelling evidence that students educated using the classical education model — rooted in the trivium of grammar, logic, and rhetoric — significantly outperform their peers in critical thinking, persuasive writing, and civic knowledge.
Study Highlights
- Classical education students scored 22% higher on critical thinking assessments
- Writing quality, as measured by independent evaluators, was rated 18% higher
- Civic knowledge scores were 35% higher than the national average
- College readiness indicators were significantly above average across all measures
The classical education model, which traces its roots to ancient Greece and was the standard approach to education in America for much of its history, has experienced a significant revival in recent years as parents seek alternatives to modern pedagogical approaches they view as insufficiently rigorous.
This article is scheduled to publish in the future to demonstrate the scheduling feature.
