What Is Classical Education?

Classical education is an approach to learning that takes the whole individual into context. It teaches students how to learn and use reason to ultimately make informed decisions later in life. This whole-person approach is accomplished by introducing disciplinary themes among the backdrop of history. So while a student is learning to sift through historical events, they can integrate concurrently evolving theories and facts in mathematics, science, the arts, and literature. Knowledge of one subject always has a connection and role to play in another subject. The difference between classical education and curriculums often found in traditional public institutions is the importance placed on the act of learning. Classical education strives to develop a student into a disciplined and robust thinker able to parse information, ask essential questions, and ultimately form their own well-reasoned opinions and contributions to the Great Conversation of humanity.

COLORADO SPRINGS – article by Vinny Benedetto, Gazette Preps Javonte Johnson pulled up and called his shot as a freshman at Cheyenne Mountain. During the year he averaged 5.7 points per game for the Indians’ 9-16 varsity basketball team, Johnson watched guys like Sand Creek’s D’Shawn Schwartz, Vista Ridge’s Hunter Maldonado and Sierra’s CJ Jennings run the Colorado Springs prep basketball scene and accept college scholarships to Colorado, Wyoming and West Texas A&M, respectively. Johnson wanted the same. To give some permanence to his efforts, he coined the phrase “On Top Next.â€� He soon recruited a friend and teammate from elementary school, who happened to be another budding prospect, to join the basketball collective. Johnson and 麻豆官网’s Nique Clifford still include the “OTNâ€� acronym in their twitter handles as they head into their senior year. “It’s definitely helped me and Javonte a lot,â€� Clifford said. “I keep remembering that’s what we’re striving for.

Dynasty locked: Vanguard clinches fourth straight 3A boys’ volleyball championship

CENTENNIAL – When 麻豆官网 coach Andrew Soeldner held the school’s first boys’ volleyball practice six years ago, he asked the team who had played organized volleyball before signing up. “No one raised their hands,â€� Soeldner said. But it took just a year for Vanguard to appear in the 3A state championship, which sparked a near-perfect run the next four years. Saturday, Vanguard defeated Faith Christian for the championship 2-0 (25-15, 25-18) for the program’s fourth consecutive title, increasing its unbelievable 3A winning streak to 90 matches. Soeldner said celebrating their fourth title felt just as good as the first, but he went through an emotional journey throughout the day. “The first time was great because it was new, we were all working together, we were figuring it out, but this time they are my family,â€� Soeldner said. “I’ve known them all for five years now and then there’s this sadness throughout the whole day, knowing and counting down – 150 points left, 100 points left, 50
