As parents, we often have a pretty good idea of what we don't want our children to learn. But what exactly should we give them instead?

Look Inside the Book

The authors of Repairing the Ruins, a group of experienced teachers and school administrators, faced this same question when they first embarked on the journey of education. They found a tried and true answer in classical Christian education. Here they explain what makes classical Christian education different from modern methods and why it offers a distinctly Christian alternative. Building upon this foundation, the authors provide parents with the "Whys and Hows" of the Trivium, tips on planning curriculum, wisdom in designing education to serve the heart as well as the mind, and advice on starting up schools.

For all who have ever wondered where to begin with their children's education, Repairing the Ruins comes alongside with words of comfort and direction. This collection is edited by Douglas Wilson, and includes essays from Tom Garfield, Chris Schlect, Douglas Jones, and Tom Spencer, as well as an introduction by Marlin Detweiler.

What People Are Saying:

"Repairing the Ruins offers a complete classical educators conference in a single book. The advice and inspiration gleaned from each essay encourages teachers and parents to confidently lead their students in the great classical conversations of Christendom. Math, Language, Science, and Logic, when studied well, provide Christians with the tools needed to repair our ruined culture while recovering the ability to love God with our whole minds." -Leigh Bortins, President of Classical Conversations

Pretty little shelves that work well
These shelves are made with real wood and are great quality. The scalloped edges are so pretty and they were easy to install with the tool kit provided. I can fit a good amount of books and some small toys if I want to. These shelves function well for their intended purpose. The instructions were simple and easy to follow as well.

High-Quality Pine Shelves With Beauty, Strength & Endless Possibilities!
The aroma of real pine wood greeted me immediately, that natural, clean scent you only get from solid wood. The craftsmanship is excellent, with beautiful grain patterns and a smooth scalloped edge that adds both charm and safety. Although they’re advertised for a nursery, their versatility is what won me over. I’m painting one white to match my kitchen and use it for spices, another in black for my bedroom to display a few of my art pieces, and two will be going into my craft room. They’re sturdy and spacious and look great...the shelf itself is not small it's almost 4 inches wide, that's 4 inches to place what ever you'd like on and a full 24 inches across! For this price point, you would normally expect particleboard, not premium solid wood. These are built to last, and you can feel the difference instantly. If you're choosing between something inexpensive and something natural and durable, go with the real wood. You’ll be happy you did.

These elegant pine shelves are made from beautiful wood that has an elegantgant finish
Beautiful pine wood and a smooth finish are the hallmark features of the 4 floating shelves with wood hooks. Although the shelves were designed for a nursery or toddler’s room;?it is going to look beautiful in my bedroom. The scalloped edges give it a touch of elegance. The wooden hangers are perfect for hanging, necklaces or scarves just to name a few items. The shelves are a perfect size to place perfume bottles and/or pictures. Mostly I want to put the many keepsakes items I have that I just never found a good place to display them. This will put many of my keepsakes in one location and it will be easy to see and enjoy them. I only opened one of the packages for pictures. I’m waiting for them to be installed and I didn’t want to lose any of the small parts.

Very nice shelves they look great up and were easy to install. Same color shown in picture. They seem very sturdy on the wall and I love the look of them. They are light weight and a good size just a little plunder 40 inches. Good quality for the price. I'll be buying again.
