Libertas Christian School

Libertas Christian School LCS cultivates wisdom & virtue in the souls of our students through a distinctively classical & unapologetically Christian paideia.

05/31/2026

What is classical Christian education really trying to accomplish?

Is it mainly about academics, great books, and high test scores? Or is it about forming the kind of people who love what is true, good, and beautiful?

In this episode of BaseCamp Live, Davies Owens sits down with Lindsey Ralls from Summit Christian Academy to explore a practical framework for classical Christian education and why formation matters more than ever in today’s culture.

They discuss:
• Formation over information
• Why virtue and ordered affections matter
• The difference between truth and reality
• Why imitation still matters in education
• How parents and schools can cultivate flourishing students

If you’ve ever struggled to explain what classical Christian education actually is, this episode will give you language, clarity, and encouragement.
