I’m currently attending, and I can say this place is very special in these times.

Would be wonderful if you could give recommendations to homeschooling parents on curriculum.

I don't get it.

I’ve been recently getting into classical/liberal education (not an actual course, just youtube lol) and if I had to sum it up, it’s the study of humanity’s greatest contributors and their inquiries as liberal arts in forms of
-literature
-languages
-philosophy
-history
-mathematics
-science
-fine arts
you’ll find many values that were prevalent in the ancient greek era, renaissance & enlightenment era, and the U.S. formation (most if not all founding fathers had classical education) and having a “general intellect” orientation over a specific or skilled profession training

@@Galifamackus ....but once you graduate will you be happy working at Starbucks because you have no job skills because your Liberal Arts degree you for nothing marketable?

@@hanskung3278 just wanna clarify
1. Thought you didn’t understand what classical education was, therefore the deep dive lol.
2. Already stated that I’m just pursuing a personal learning of classical/liberal arts education, and in reality at a point of choosing between breakdance (before added to the Olympics in 2024) or a degree in neuroscience.
At any rate, may god and universe bless you towards joy and enlightenment in life.

@@Galifamackus I don't know why I said that. I guess I'm just projecting my disappointment that Liberal Arts wasn't wasn't what it was cracked up to be
