"I know it is a burden economically to put children in a private school… It is worth that sacrifice. What I say to parents is if it means selling your house, get your kids in there."

"When people ask me, ‘Should I send my kids to a classical Christian school?’  I get all crazy and say, ‘Yes. Do whatever you need to do to send your child to that kind of school.’  Chances are you will be very very happy that you did."

"I did not attend the classical Christian school; I attended a public school. I’m envious not only for the students, but for those who have the opportunity to teach in classical Christian schools…  I am with you in common cause."

"There’s a good alternative to both public schools and mediocre Christian schools: classical Christian education.  It’s built by marrying the Greco-Roman ideal that the purpose of education is to cultivate virtue and wisdom, to the traditional Christian worldview."

"I myself went to a school which was rich in the classics in England, and I had absolutely no idea how rare that was… I admire what you have done enormously."

"It excites me that all of you are involved in classical and Christian education…If we can’t take this generation and teach them how to think and teach them character, as well as knowledge, and give them a solid education and grounding, we are never going to be able to win the battles in the future."
