What's Missing in Catholic Education?by Steve Wood "Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it." - Proverbs 22:6 Is Catholic education simply an intellectual exercise? Is it merely digesting a body of facts about certain subjects, a religion class, reading classical literature, and acquiring a set of skills? Or is it something much more that captures the whole person, mind and heart, and ultimately develops virtuous moral character and a Christian worldview in our children?
Parents have exactly one opportunity to educate their children. It is certainly worth looking carefully into the “what” and “why” of how to educate them. In this CD series, Steve Wood shares fundamental components of a truly Catholic education that are often missing in Western education.
On Disc One, Steve explains the importance of “knowing God” as the key to all Christian formation. On Disc Two, he presents seven key (and often missing!) elements in a Catholic education that have at their heart the formation of wisdom in the life of a child.
