"Education: the central aim of which has always been recognized, from Socrates' day down to our own, as the freeing of the mind through the discipline of wonder."
(Mortimer Adler)

FOUNDATIONS FOR SUCCESS

The Power of Paideia Schools:
Defining Lives Through Learning
Terry Roberts, National Paideia Center Director, and his co-authors illustrate a blueprint for the Paideia school by highlighting schools throughout the United States. 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.
