There is no doubt classical Christian students are “real world ready” – academically and generally prepared to make wise decisions in a wobbly world. But even the best educated classic Christian students are teenagers who are still discovering how God has uniquely called, equipped and gifted them in their lives. Their big decision moving forward is how to make good choices about college, their major and ultimately their vocation in leading lives that glorify God through their gifts. My guest today has worked with thousands of Christian students in helping them discover their hard wired aptitudes and skills and guiding them, their parents, and their schools to discern these many decisions that have to be made for life after 12th grade graduation. Join us for this episode of Basecamp Live as our guest discusses how we can help guide our students in a life well-lived.

Imagine classical Christian classrooms with students who are engaged in a deep and lively discussion with fellow students who are located all over the world? Imagine being a small school with a renowned master teacher who instructs a class but who isn’t located in your school building. Long before Covid made online education a reality for many, Bob and Nancy Donaldson launched Wilson Hill Academy and have been positively impacting countless students with a rich online classical Christian education. Few folks have the perspective of both the shortcomings and advantages of a digitally delivered education in our classical Christian space. Whether you are a parent or educator, join us for this episode of BCL as you will hear fresh thoughts and perspectives on this always lively topic!

Those of us in the good old USA know CCE schools are on the rise, but the amazing story of what God is doing around the world is equally inspirational. Faithful school leaders and teachers are planting schools all across the globe. And students, regardless of their surrounding culture, are experiencing transformed minds, hearts and souls impacting the next generations of students and their extended families. Regardless of where on the planet you are listening from, you will be encouraged by the stories from my guests today – a conversation live from East Asia.

When we think of the influential Oxford professor, CS Lewis, writer of such classical literature as the Chronicles of Narnia and Mere Christianity, we think of the mature and articulate scholar. But what would he have been like as a boy and as a teenager trying to find himself? Who influenced him? What educational experiences shaped his thinking? Or even – what did he like to eat? My guest Dr Hal Poe is one of the world’s leading experts on Lewis, who brings to light this season in Lewis’ life with discoveries that will impact our homes and schools today.
