What do we really mean when we say classical Christian education—and why does it matter?

In this episode of Virtue and Verse, Jenny and Hannah unpack the heart behind Redeemer Classical and explore the “why” driving their vision. They clarify what they mean by Christian—a Christ-centered, biblically faithful worldview rooted in the authority of Scripture—and what they mean by classical—an education shaped by the Trivium (grammar, logic, and rhetoric), the great books, and the pursuit of truth, goodness, and beauty.

They also address common misconceptions: Is classical just Latin? Is it only for certain types of learners? Is it intimidating or inaccessible? Drawing from their own parenting journeys, they share how memorization, Scripture study, and character formation shape not only children’s minds, but their hearts.

Whether you’re curious about classical education, hesitant because of past experiences, or looking for a more intentional approach to your child’s formation, this conversation offers clarity, encouragement, and a compelling vision for an education grounded in eternal truth.
