The following links are to articles, papers, and audio that speak about, and expound on, Christian Classical education.

Faculty Commentaries: This archived collection of commentaries is the fruit of our faculty’s continuing education and professional development. It is one additional way for The Geneva Community to engage the Great Conversation that regularly takes place in our classrooms, hallways, carpools, and homes.

Each week a different faculty member will write comments on one of the four areas of this year’s (2008-09) continuing education. These include “Christian Humanism in the Augustinian Tradition;” The Tools of Learning; Tracy Lee Simmons’ book Climbing Parnassus, and Biblical Motifs. These commentaries are distributed to the Geneva parents, Board, faculty, and staff each Friday and are linked here for your reading pleasure.
