In contrast to public schools,\u2063 which\u2064 often promote racial and sexual falsehoods,\u2063 classical schools focus on teaching virtues such \u2064as prudence,\u2064 courage, temperance, and justice.

This approach equips\u200b them \u200dto navigate the complexities of\u2063 the world while enjoying their educational\u2063 journey.<\/p>\n<p>Classical education\u2064 has \u200bexperienced significant\u200d growth\u2064 in recent years. Classical Conversations, for example, has seen a 500%\u2063 increase in enrollment over the past decade. The ACCS, which started with only 10 schools in 1994, now boasts approximately\u200b 500\u200c schools. Other classical \u200deducation networks, such as\u200c the Institute\u2062 for Catholic Liberal Education and the Consortium for Classical Lutheran \u200dEducation, have also witnessed substantial expansion.<\/p>\n<p>Despite its success, classical \u2062education faces challenges from internal and external sources. Internal struggles include attempts\u2063 to introduce \u200bMarxist ideologies into the\u2064 curriculum, while external attacks come from media and leftist \u2063pressure groups.
