True, Beautiful and Good
In a Classical setting you will often find subjects that are integrated. You may not know if a child is learning history, religion or literacy. The pure joy of learning comes from finding the connections and discoveries instead of merely learning isolated facts. Aspects of classical education and the grammar stage can be seen in preschool. In preschool you will see poetry, memorizing, and other literacy aspects that create the foundation of our language. Each stage of classical education is developmentally appropriate based on research based theories and education that has stood the test of time. Sure we use what has worked for centuries, but we have not abandoned what we know also works from the last 50 years. Every aspect of education at St. Katharine Drexel is purposeful which empowers the student as a leader and brings the joy of being a life long learner.
