“The Ask Andrew Podcast features weekly reflections on the purpose and nature of classical education from Andrew Kern, author of Classical Education: The Movement Sweeping American, and President of the CiRCE Institute. Each week Andrew will tackle a key idea, term, or theme in classical education, briefly defining it and explaining its purpose and place within classical pedagogy.”

“Join us as our founder, Lucas Vieira, interviews leading classical educators, theologians, and cultural reformers about topics related to the classical Christian education movement. The podcast is geared towards educators, parents, and ministers who are longing for a deeper understanding of classical Christian education and tools to help them engage in the work.”

“Veritas Vox, the voice of Classical Christian Education, is here to inspire, encourage, and equip your family to classically educate from kindergarten all the way through high school. From interviewing well-known and loved leaders in the classical education community to local homeschooling parents sharing how they classically educate in their homes, we aim to talk about every aspect of classical Christian education and the families that want the best for their children.”

“As parents and educators, we aspire to see the next generation develop into flourishing adults who wholeheartedly embrace Jesus Christ, exude mature confidence in their beliefs and identity, and demonstrate unwavering courage, all while serving others with boundless compassion and curiosity, even in the face of a world filled with opportunities but all too often indifferent if not hostile. Our podcast features top thought leaders, culture observers, and educational experts who intimately understand the hurdles you may face on this uphill climb. They equip you with the essential tools needed to reach the summit and raise the next generation of exceptionally prepared, compassionate, and thoughtful individuals.”
