Classical Christian Movement

Other Voices: Gerald Manley Hopkins

By June 26, 2015January 23rd, 2023No Comments

In classical and Christian schools we seek rigorous academics and a robust Christian worldview, but these are not the only necessary ingredients for instruction that ennobles the mind and educates the whole person. In any discipline, there are “other voices” that speak to our hearts and minds. In this workshop we will explore ways that poetry, literature, art, music, and rambles in the wilderness can add layers of depth to our classroom discussions about science.
