If our children are going to be prepared to live faithfully and fruitfully in this coming technological age, they will need more than information. They will need wisdom, judgment, eloquence, virtue, and a well-formed moral imagination.
Just like the engineers and surveyors who rebuilt Hawke’s Bay after the old maps failed, we have fundamental tools we can use (i.e., compasses). But we need to ask the right questions. We need to ask compass questions.
When the landscape has changed, a parent cannot be satisfied with asking, “Where is the nearest school?” or “Which program is most convenient?” or “Which path looks most like the path everyone else is taking?” Those are map questions. And today the map no longer corresponds to the land.

You may be persuaded that public education is not enough. You may be persuaded that your child needs something more than job training, digital worksheets, ideological formation, and test preparation. You may be persuaded that your child needs a classical Christian education—a liberal education, a humane education, an education ordered toward truth, goodness, beauty, wisdom, and virtue.
But then Monday morning arrives. The bills still have to be paid. The younger children still need attention. The teenager still needs accountability. The parents still have work, church, family, meals, appointments, and obligations.
And the question becomes very practical: What now?
The first step is to begin with the end in mind. Don’t begin with the curriculum or course catalog. Do not begin with the schedule. Do not begin with the fear that your child is behind. Do not begin with the panic that someone else’s family seems to be doing everything better. Begin with the end in mind.
What kind of student are you trying to form? Or better still, what kind of human being are you trying to form?
Here’s the answer: A student who can read carefully. A student who can write clearly. A student who can reason soundly. A student who can speak truthfully and persuasively. A student who knows the Scriptures, understands the great tradition, and can engage the world without being absorbed by it. A student who can love what is lovely, discern what is vicious or false, resist what is degrading, and pursue what is noble. That is the end we have in mind.
Seven Compass Questions Parents Must Ask About Education When the maps no longer correspond to the educational landscape.
Compass Question #1
The first compass question is this: What is an education for?
Compass Question #2
The second compass question is this: What kind of person is this education forming?
Compass Question #3
The third compass question is this: What environment is best for my child?
Compass Question #4
The fourth compass question is this: What is the curriculum? What kind of curriculum is your child using?
Compass Question #5
The fifth compass question is this: Who is teaching and forming your child?
Compass Question #6
The sixth compass question is closely related: Does this education cultivate virtue and wisdom?
Compass Question #7
The seventh compass question is this: Does this education teach my child to master words rather than be mastered by them?

On February 3, 1931, a 7.8 magnitude earthquake devastated Hawke’s Bay, New Zealand. There's similar seismic shift happening today—in American education! https://t.co/yXVhQP84QW

Every lesson you teach needs to give the child something that he can use to deliberate better, because deliberation is the means to prudence. Find online courses in the Christian classical tradition at https://t.co/MdCahcbRDy
Today, as we observe President’s Day, we reflect on the kind of education that nourished the hearts and minds of our nation’s greatest leaders, men whose wisdom and moral clarity shaped the course of history—leaders who understood that liberty is best preserved by an educated citizenry.
These men were not merely trained in facts but educated in virtue, steeped in the classical tradition that prepared them to lead with courage and conviction. The same rich heritage of learning that sharpened their minds, cultivated their imaginations, and fortified their character is what Kepler Education offers today: a classical Christian education rooted in truth, virtue, and the Great Conversation of Western civilization.
The classical Christian tradition, which enculturated these men and so many like them, is more than a curriculum—it is a way of thinking, a way of living, a way of preparing the next generation to lead with courage and conviction. In our current age of confusion and cultural decay, the need for such an education has never been more urgent.
At Kepler Education, we equip students with the tools of learning—training them in reason, discernment, and rhetoric—so they might stand firm in their faith and flourish in their calling. We offer a robust selection of courses taught by passionate educators who believe in the power of a truly classical Christian education.
On this President’s Day, we are offering families a final opportunity to take advantage of our Early Enrollment discount—10% off any student course—but only until midnight. This is the only time Kepler's valuable courses will be discounted.

If you have a high schooler who would benefit from studying the Spanish language or medieval humanities with me next academic year, today is the last day to snag 10% off tuition at @KeplerEducation. Click below to check my courses out.
Kepler online classes meet once a week for active recitations. Other work (lectures, readings) is done asynchronously. It's a great model!

Language is the cornerstone of a Classical Christian education because it is the means by which truth, goodness, and beauty are articulated, preserved, and passed down through the generations. As human beings created in the image of God, we are endowed with the unique gift of speech, enabling us to engage in meaningful discourse, express worship, and contemplate eternal realities. The study of languages—both ancient and modern—also trains the mind in precision, logic, and eloquence, equipping students to think clearly, argue persuasively, and communicate effectively.
Latin and Greek, the languages of Scripture, theology, and classical literature, grants students access to the great conversation of Western civilization, allowing them to engage firsthand with the words of Homer, Virgil, Cicero, and Augustine. Plus, the discipline of learning these languages cultivates patience, mental rigor, and a deep appreciation for the structure and order inherent in language itself.
Moreover, language is essential for the pursuit of wisdom. By mastering words and their spectrums of meaning, students learn to articulate truth with clarity and conviction. They become stewards of culture, defenders of the faith, and lovers of learning, able to engage in meaningful dialogue with the world while remaining rooted in the eternal Word.
In these ways, language is not merely a tool of communication but a means of shaping souls for the glory of God.

@kristenrudd Teachers are merely extensions of the home... through the division of labor, they are assistants to the fathers and mothers responsible for raising and educating them (which is essentially the same thing).
