A classical Christian education can bring an exemplary education to any child. When my daughter said to me, \u201cMom, I want my story to help other children like me,\u201d I knew I needed to write the book. Parents worry that their struggling children will never learn to read, never receive a good education, or never find joy in learning. We invite everyone to join our efforts in bringing a Christian classical education to as many children as possible. Students with special needs might not progress as far as same-age peers, but because a classical Christian education is rich and advanced, emphasizing truth, goodness, and beauty, the benefits of an exemplary education remain. Ours is not an elitist endeavor; ours is a human endeavor. \u2014CHERYL SWOPE, Author of Simply Classical<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;A classical education is like climbing a mountain, each child benefiting from whatever vistas he or she attains in that upward journey. \u2026 Simply Classical gives encouragement and real help for all parents \u2026 and has advanced the cause of classical Christian education by confounding its critics who claim it is only for the elite.&#8221; \u2014Mrs. Cheryl Lowe, founder of Memoria Press, in her review of Simply Classical: A Beautiful Education for Any Child<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"programs\" name=\"programs\"><\/a><\/p>\n<h4>PROGRAMS<\/h4>\n<p>Clare Kozushko, a former fifth grade CCE teacher, is now an expert in alternative learning programs and runs the Thrive Center in Newberg, OR.
