These classical teaching programs meet a growing demand

As the classical education K-12 movement gains steam, Christian and conservative universities have set up programs to form more teachers in the tradition.

Director John Peterson of the Classical Education Graduate Program at the University of Dallas, a Catholic institution, told The College Fix via email that standard teacher education programs fall short of the classical ideal.

“The existing master’s programs in education [are] obviously inappropriate for the classical schools, which are inspired by a complete rejection of assumptions and practices of modern education,” Peterson said.
