Greetings from Australia. I would like to send a few words of thanks for including on your website the chapter from your book Teaching the Trivium: Christian Homeschooling in a Classical Style. We have 4 beautiful children aged 6, 4, 2, and 4 months. I struggled through the end of my pregnancy, and have found [...]

 Hello from the Arctic Circle of Norway. We are so excited to hear our book 
order from you is in California and is now being sent on its way to us

There is classical education and then there is Christian classical education. Teaching the Trivium: Christian Homeschooling in a Classical Style by Harvey and Laurie Bluedorn is about reclaiming classical education for Christ. And Teaching the Trivium is not just about classical education — it gives foundational reasons for why homeschooling should be your first choice. [...]

Some people suggest reading Dante, Chaucer, and Beowulf in the second grade. I didn’t read these until high school. What do you recommend? C.S. I have your book Teaching the Trivium but I do not seem to be able to find any mention of your position on reading the Iliad/Odyssey. If you would recommend it, [...]

Does Trivium Pursuit offer curriculum recommendations like other classical education books? Just curious if they make specific recommendations for curriculum for various ages and subjects.

This is my 3rd year homeschooling my sons. They are in 2nd, 5th, and 6th grades. I have been slowly trying to incorporate some of the principles of classical education into our homeschool effort. For example, we have begun the study of Latin this year. I am increasingly concerned that I have missed doing the [...]

by Harvey Bluedorn The Protestant denominations trace their origins back to Martin Luther, the Christian reformer. His reforms touched on many things, not the least of which was education. Here, cast into the form of an interview, and using his own characteristically forceful and animated words, we gather Luther’s views on the importance of classical [...]

Hello Harvey and Laurie, Thanks so very much for the excellent overview in Teaching the Trivium of 10 things to do before your child is 10. I have been re-reading it and it helps bring me back to the essentials in our homeschooling. I do have a question to ask, do you have any thoughts [...]
