Why Classical Education Matters Now More Than Ever

'In this Memoria Press Speakers' Guild, Tracy Lee Simmons, classical scholar and author of Climbing Parnassus and On Being Civilized, explains the importance of classical education in today’s rapidly changing world. He makes the case for why classical education holds the key to a better future by offering a timeless approach to learning that contrasts sharply with the limitations of modern curriculum. As our educational landscape shifts toward more modern methods, the need for defending classical education has never been more urgent. Tracy Lee explores why a curriculum focused on the Great Books, Latin, Logic, and the liberal arts provides a more profound and meaningful traditional education compared to the more utilitarian, standardized approach we see in many schools today. He explains why the study of classical texts and languages not only preserves cultural wisdom but equips students with critical thinking skills and virtues that are crucial in a modern world. This Speakers' Guild delves into how classical education can shape students into thoughtful, well-rounded individuals and why it continues to be the key to fostering a brighter, more thoughtful future.
