What is a Classical Education?

Incidentally, this method of education was the precursor to the modern day “Liberal Arts” education. Education Liberalis prepared free Greek citizens to think, express themselves and argue the issues of the day. This was important because during that time, “officials” had little power. The more persuasive the individual citizen, the more influential that person could become. In those days, education was power; it remains so today.
