A Student's Guide to Classical Education, One Student's K-12 Journey

by Zoë Perrin

This is an excellent guide for parents, students, and educators as you try to understand what to expect in a classical school. Read about one student’s journey through classical education. Follow Zoë as she travels from kindergarten to twelfth grade, studying grammar, Latin, logic, and rhetoric. Zoë describes the embodiment of this education in assignments, relationships, and classrooms. Much more than charts, diagrams, and simple descriptions, this narrative will help bring the classical school experience to life. Teachers
and administrators will also benefit from hearing the voice of a student who has completed this pilgrimage.

Excellent description of a classical education. Great resource for those considering classical education for their child, as well as those currently giving their child a classical education. It was encouraging! You might also consider letting your 7-12th grade student read it as a reminder to why classical education is worth the effort. We are asking our teachers and board members to read it as a reminder/review of all the levels and advantages to classical education. Thank you Zoe Perrin! I am sure you are making great contributions to your community.

A personal view

This is a nice little peek into the authors experience as she grew in the Classical education classroom setting. Well written and her examples are easy to relate with. I would have liked to see more details and heard more about her school interactions. I enjoyed what the author shared here.
