Ep. 36 – Why New England Needs Classical Education

Scott Postma May 5, 2022

This is Episode 36 of the Consortium Podcast, an academic audio blog sponsored by Kepler Education.

In this episode, Sarah Abbott and Tim Knotts of the Classical Learning Consortium for New England join Scott Postma to discuss the need for classical education in New England. Given the number of Ivy League schools in New England, it is only obvious that it once was the epicenter for liberal education in the United States; In the 19th century, however, it became a leader in the push for the modern education of Horace Mann and John Dewey. Like never before, New England needs Classical Christian Education.

Listen in to a fascinating discussion about what classical education is, what the Classical Learning Consortium for New England is doing, and why Kepler Education is joining the CLCNE to host the New England Consortium of Classical Educators on July 15-16, 2022.
