“Education is simply the soul of a society as it passes from one generation to another” – G.K. Chesterton
Here we discuss The Great Books and other art forms, share best practices for pursuing a Classical Education and help others to understand the immense value of a traditional Liberal Arts education.
Education should be about so much more than just making money, it should also teach people how to live well and to love that which is most beautiful. Our sub exists to promote these ideas.
