[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do any Catholic schools in NOVA offer a classical education?[/quote] Can you define a classical education? [/quote] While an actual classical education is hard to find, I'll tell you what most parents would be satisfied with: Actual history taught in early elementary as opposed to social studies ("community helpers" "global citizens" etc.) Reading abridged kids' versions of classic texts as opposed to Fountas & Pinnell readers or politicized children's picture books Hands-on science learning Handwriting Grammar Spelling Correcting the above in children's writing Practicing math facts until they are mastered as opposed to "big picture" math[/quote]
