Classical (An Education in Wonder)

Rediscover the poetic mode of learning and the heart of a truly classical education (not Neo-classical). Rooted in the Catholic intellectual tradition, this category invites you to cultivate wonder, contemplation, and a love for what is True, Good, and Beautiful.

Education is not just the filling of the mind, but the awakening of the soul to wonder. Walk the path of a truly classical education and grounded in the rich tradition of the Church.

How We Built Our Classical Home Library

Oh hey! I'm Mary!

I’m a Traditional Catholic & California girl transplanted to the middle of nowhere Nebraska. It all started when I fell in love with my real life cowboy. And here we are raising our 4 little ones to appreciate simple living.
