Unfortunately, because the foundations of classical education have not been exposed for a long time, they have been very nearly forgotten, and perhaps the time has come when we must dig a little deeper and remember that they are there. We do not list “humility” among our school subjects or put it on a transcript, but that is actually the little secret of classical education. The things that make it truly classical, truly worthwhile to pursue, aren’t school subjects at all, but principles that add depth and cohesion to everything we study in all areas of the curriculum.
