The three pillars of education: The Church, Home and School

Years ago I lived in a house that was undergoing renovations. The brunt of the work focused on creating more space, and by the end of the project the workers had enlarged many of the rooms, giving the house a seemingly new and improved flare.

Respect for God and Nature

When we went around Jamaica Pond with the school children, parents, teachers and a friend “naturalist” one of the young boys saw a rather large ant and was about to squash it.

Being on the Same Page...

Parents have a special power. When they are united, “on the same page”, their effect on their family is stunning.

Educating through the Family

Our school staff went to give a presentation about education to a Russian Orthodox Parish.

“The Light of Christ Illumines All!” Above the doorway of the pre-revoluationary Moscow Theological Academy was this sign.

Saint Herman of Alaska

“Of all the features of the Elder’s face reflecting goodness; his pleasant smile, his meek and attractive mien, his humble and quiet behavior, and his gracious word. He was short of stature. His face was pale and covered with wrinkles. His eyes were greyish-blue, full of sparkle, and on his head there were a few gray hairs. His voice was not powerful, but it was very pleasant.” - Yanovsky

Education must go beyond a technical transmission of skills and information.

Education involves the whole person and the goal of education is holiness. The saints present an example of a complete education.
