Teaching the Trivium: Christian Homeschooling in a Classical Style is not just about classical education — it gives foundational reasons for why homeschooling should be your first choice. Some of the distinctives of Teaching the Trivium include:

–an emphasis on reading aloud to your children

–studying logic from ages ten through high school, rather than using it as a one or two-year supplement

–ancient literature from a Christian perspective — is it really necessary to read Homer?

–choices in language study, with an emphasis on Biblical Greek

–why INFORMAL math or grammar before age ten may be a better choice

–how to give your children the tools they need to teach themselves

–how to homeschool in a classical style without buckling under the burden

–a workable plan for every subject and for every age which avoids homeschool burnout — there is only so much time in the day

–how to continue using other approaches to homeschooling within the framework of classical education

–homeschooling is not alternative education — homeschooling was here first
