39. Educating for Truth, Goodness, and Beauty: Insights from Trinity School

In this episode, we’re joined by Leah, Lindsay, and Serena as we explore how classical education, Charlotte Mason’s principles, and a Christian foundation come together to form the distinctive learning philosophy at the Trinity School of Durham and Chapel Hill. 

The team from Trinity School of Durham and Chapel Hill discusses their educational philosophy, which is built on Classical, Christian, Rich, and Unhurried principles, emphasizing the pursuit of truth, goodness, and beauty, and the importance of holistic learning. They highlight the influence of Charlotte Mason's educational philosophy on their curriculum, the use of 'living books', nature studies, and exposure to art, music, and poetry, and the development of lifelong learners who can adapt to changing circumstances. We also discuss the role of Trinity’s four pillars in fostering critical thinking, communication skills, and a sense of community, preparing students for an uncertain future.
