“Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it.” Proverbs 22:6
What is so great about Christian classical education? Why has Rafiki started a Christian classical school (RCA) at its Home Office where children can learn and where teachers can be trained to teach classically?
Here is the short definition of classical education as found on google:
“Classical education is an approach to learning rooted in the liberal arts traditions of ancient Greece and Rome. It emphasizes cultivating wisdom, virtue, and critical thinking skills through the study of the trivium (grammar, logic, and rhetoric) and quadrivium (arithmetic, geometry, music, and astronomy). This method aims to develop well-rounded individuals equipped to engage in public life and pursue intellectual and moral virtues.”
Rafiki’s Classical Academy has been in operation for two years, using the classical curriculum developed by Rafiki where all subjects are taught from a Christian worldview. Just for example, look at what the children in second grade are doing:
We are thrilled with the little school we have going now, but we need a permanent building for pre-school through eighth grade. We are trusting God to give Rafiki the funds to build it!
