The classical education movement designates a traditional and historic liberal arts education that seeks to restore a robust study of the liberal arts and includes study of the natural sciences, Western literature, the "great books", Western history, and the fine arts. While schools in the movement vary in their use of these categories, the general goal of the classical education movement is to bring this group of studies to contemporary private and public schools (particularly charter schools) as well as to thousands of homeschooling communities.

  • The classical education movement designates a traditional and historic liberal arts education that seeks to restore a robust study of the liberal arts and includes study of the natural sciences, Western literature, the "great books", Western history, and the fine arts. While schools in the movement vary in their use of these categories, the general goal of the classical education movement is to bring this group of studies to contemporary private and public schools (particularly charter schools) as well as to thousands of homeschooling communities. Over 300 classical Christian schools and over 200 classical charter schools are members of the Association of Classical Christian Schools. Almost 200 classical Catholic schools are part of the Institute for Catholic Liberal Education. The U.S. has many classical homeschooling communities, with over 1000 communities that are part of Classical Conversations, and some 100 that are part of the Scholé Groups network of classical homeschooling communities. Numerous organizations and publishers have emerged in support of the growing classical education movement, including Veritas Press, Classical Academic Press, Memoria Press, Canon Press, the Circe Institute, Association of Classical Christian Schools, Society for Classical Learning, the Institute for Classical Education, the Classic Learning Test, and the Institute for Catholic Liberal Education, among many others. The term "classical education" has been used in Western culture for several centuries, with each era modifying the definition and adding its own selection of topics. By the end of the 18th century, in addition to the trivium and quadrivium of the Middle Ages, the definition of a classical education embraced study of literature, poetry, drama, philosophy, history, art, and languages. In the 20th and 21st centuries, the term "classical education" has been used to refer to a broad-based study of the liberal arts and sciences, in contrast to a practical or pre-professional program. A number of informal groups and professional organizations have led the classical education movement in the past century. Within the secular classical movement, Mortimer Adler and Robert Hutchins set forth the "Great Books" of Western civilization as the center stage for a classical education curriculum in the 1930s. Some public schools (primarily charters) have structured their curricula and pedagogy around the trivium and integrate the teaching of values (sometimes called "character education") into the mainstream classroom.
