The Great Books
|
|
"We have seen that education through the liberal arts and great
books is the best education for the best.
"We have seen that the democratic
ideal requires the attempt to help everybody get this education.
"We have seen
that none of the great changes, the rise of experimental science,
specialization, and industrialization, makes this attempt irrelevant.
"On the
contrary, these changes make the effort to give everybody this education more
necessary and urgent."
-Robert M. Hutchins

What People Are Saying...
"Infinitely more than a curriculum. Because of TJEd, our family is stronger, happier, more confident, and more at peace."
"Our home is more peaceful, the children [are more] independently creative, our family has a greater feeling of unity."
"[Using] the TJEd book and related materials, my older children have been successful in Great Books programs in college."
TJEd gives clarity and purpose to the decision to homeschool,
and a template that can be applied by any family to achieve their
goals. I refer to it often as a handbook to help me further my own
studies, and highly recommend it to anyone interested in quality
education. Parents, teachers, and students alike will be energized by
this exciting book."
~Rebecca Kochenderfer, owner of Homeschool.com
A Thomas Jefferson Education has not only helped my wife Laura
and I create a better educational environment for our children, but has
constantly reminded me that master teachers believe that each child who
walks into their classroom is a genius, waiting to be discovered.
