In this episode of Living Homeschool Life, Scott and Becky Aniol engage with Karen Glass, a prominent figure in the Charlotte Mason community, to discuss the connections between Charlotte Mason's methods and classical education, as well as the significance of understanding the historical context of education. Karen emphasizes the need for a pedagogy that aligns with the philosophical underpinnings of education, ultimately aiming to cultivate a love for learning in children.

What is classical education—and why does it feel like everyone defines it differently? In this episode of Living Homeschool Life, we walk through the surprising history of the classical education movement, from the medieval liberal arts to Dorothy Sayers, Doug Wilson, and the modern classical Christian renewal.

We trace how classical education developed, how various models (Sayers, Wilson, Evans, Clark & Jain, Charlotte Mason, Renaissance humanism, and more) fit together—or don’t—and why so many Christian parents feel confused.

This is the conversation every homeschool parent needs to hear.

In this episode, we welcome Dawn Durán, co-author of the viral National Review article, "How Wokeness Came to Homeschooling," to discuss Christian, Classical, and Charlotte Mason curricula.

You'll discover how Critical Race Theory (CRT) and related ideologies are being subtly woven into homeschool educational materials, often disguised by "nice" buzzwords like empathy, inclusion, and belonging.

*Are you overwhelmed by the thought of homeschooling?* You’re not alone! In this first episode of Living Homeschool Life, we dive into the philosophy behind homeschooling, why school-at-home isn’t the answer, and how you can give your children a rich, biblical education—even if you feel unqualified.
