The Power of Paideia Schools: Defining Lives Through Learning
National Paideia Center’s Director, Terry Roberts, and his co-authors cite schools throughout the United States as they provide a blueprint for the Paideia school. Readers will learn about the "three column" approach to instruction, the core curriculum, scheduling options, and meaningful assessment from the Paideia perspective. Combining thoughtful educational philosophy with real-world results, the authors offer a persuasive argument for a classical education that meets contemporary challenges.

This original manifesto expresses the views of Adler and a group of like-minded educators.

This leads in turn to a better quality of life for all and an ever-growing community of learners - adults as well as students - who are dedicated to their own learning and that of others.
