[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was looking for insight as to why this school was very strong in the grammar, writing and language areas but didn’t have strong science programs

I’m learning what a classical Christian curriculum entails and thought to come on DCUM to get some answers based on past experiences or their knowledge [/quote]

Is there a specific Classical Christian school to which you are referring? Alexandria Classical Christian? Immanuel Lutheran? Dominion Christian? Potomac Classical Conservatory? These are all classical Christian schools but they are each different.

Overall Classical Christian education seeks to encourage joy of learning through reading, writing, and discussion. [b]They are all liberal arts educations that include science and math, but the emphasis of classical is truly the discussion and the reading and writing.[/b] If you contact a school, they would be best able to define their philosophy.

In a traditional classical education you'd be reading Euclid for your math, which is pretty impressive (and maybe a little painful). It'd be similar for your science. I mean, Isaac Newton's great discoveries were all written in books.[/quote]
