BaseCamp Live Episode #273: Are Classical Schools Elitist?
Guest: Megan Atherton
Episode Summary:
In a world where the idea of excellence can sometimes be misconstrued as elitism, classical education is often scrutinized. Uniforms, a rigorous curriculum, and a culture that upholds values of truth, goodness, and beauty can sometimes give off an impression of exclusivity. But is classical Christian education truly elitist? Join us in this episode of BaseCamp Live as we delve into this question with Megan Atherton, Program Director and Founder of Common Sense Classical, and explore why classical education is far from being elitist.
