Classical Dads gives Christian fathers the tools they need to lead their children through Classical Christian Education by first educating themselves.
You’ve spent your time and money for your children’s classical Christian education. Don’t be the clueless dad who doesn’t know his Socrates from his Spinoza! Help your children (and yourself) to get the classical education that will free them from mental slavery and allow them to better seek the glory of God! And do it in just 15 minutes a day.
Classical education isn’t just a school time reality. It’s a total perspective. Don’t let your home life undermine your investment.
Leverage your wisdom and experience to leapfrog your kids and get your OWN classical education. That way when they hit their teen years they can’t pull any fast ones on their dad!
If you didn’t have a classical education, you have gaps in your understanding of the world, plug those gaps and become a better dad (and human).
When your children hit the high school years they start reading the Great Books of Western Civilization. BIG questions will be asked. Read ahead so YOU can help them walk their journey
Walking through the Great Books will push your mind and keep it sharp. Mind game apps have nothing on Socratic dialogue.
The standard Prussian model of education (which is the norm in both public and private school) was designed to break your will. Liberate your ability to think so you can be a stronger man of God.
To make this work, you can’t go it alone. Join a group online or in person.
The perfect is the enemy of the good. It’s better to read 3 chapters and talk about it than to read nothing and not show up. Get in as many reps as you can. Completion is great, but some training is better than none.
The magic happens in the dialogue. In fact, learned to discuss big ideas with other men will help you quickly realize this isn’t academics. This is the mental equivalent of a CrossFit workout. You’ll be push farther than you thought possible and you’ll make close friends.
