Classical education is different first and foremost because the goal of education is different.
Go substitute at your local public school and ask the students the purpose of education and they will tell you something about getting good jobs.
Go to the local classical school and ask students the same question and they will tell you something about growing in virtue, becoming more fully human, growing in wisdom, or at a classical Christian school learning to love Christ more with their whole mind.
The telos is everything.
Those who love do not stand around doing nothing. Those who love serve. They hurry to reach others to serve in the name of Jesus. We love through our deeds and love makes us happy!
Countries are not rich in proportion to their natural resources; if that were so Russia would be the richest country in the world; she has everything, oil, gas, diamonds, platinum, gold, silver, the industrial metals, timber, and a rich soil.
Countries are rich whose governments have policies which encourage the essential creativity of man who in order to succeed must work with others to produce goods and services which people choose to buy.
So Japan, Switzerland, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore and so on have no natural resources but are now among the most prosperous countries in the world.

“The only path to a subversion of the republican system of the country is, by flattering the prejudices of the people, and exciting their jealousies and apprehensions, to throw affairs into confusion, and bring on civil commotion.“ – Alexander Hamilton.
President @JoeBiden and I drove from Rideau Cottage to Parliament to discuss climate change and reducing emissions.
That's why we used 75 vehicles including several ambulances and military style armoured personnel carriers for a five minute trip.
We are in a climate emergency.
“It is no use to say that we are born 2000 years too late to give room to Christ. Nor will those who live at the end of the world have been born too late. Christ is always with us, always asking for room in our hearts."
