Voices from the Movement's Founding
This anthology captures the energy and vision of the early ACCS movement. Multiple authors address different aspects of classical Christian education — from why Latin matters to how to structure a school board to what makes a good classical teacher.
The diversity of voices gives readers multiple perspectives on the same core commitments.
Philosophy Meets Practice
The essays range from philosophical foundations to highly practical concerns. Topics include:
Why It's Still Relevant
Though written in the movement's early years, the questions this book addresses — How do we stay faithful to our mission? How do we handle growth? How do we train teachers? — are the same questions classical schools face today.
This is essential reading for school boards and founding teams.
