The classical education movement or renewal advocates for a return to a traditional education based on the liberal arts (including the natural sciences), the canons of classical literature, the fine arts, and the history of civilization.[1] It focuses on human formation and paideia with an early emphasis on music, gymnastics, recitation, imitation, and grammar.[2] Multiple organizations support classical education in charter schools, in independent faith-based schools, and in home education. This movement has inspired several graduate programs[3][4][5][6] and colleges as well as a new peer-reviewed journal, Principia: A Journal of Classical Education.[7]
