Scholé (Restful) Learning

In this course, Dr. Christopher Perrin helps educators to more deeply understand and apply the tradition of contemplation and restful learning encompassed by the word scholé. Most Americans have inherited an approach to education that is filled with ceaseless activity and a great deal of anxiety. In this course Dr. Perrin recovers an older, classical approach to education that was more restful and contemplative, emphasizing deep, lasting learning. This training has been in high demand in Dr. Perrin’s consulting and training work at classical schools around the US.

Dr. Christopher Perrin, MDiv, PhD, is an author, consultant, and speaker who specializes in classical education. He is committed to the renewal of the liberal arts tradition. He cofounded and serves full-time as the CEO/publisher at Classical Academic Press, a classical education curriculum, media, and consulting company. Christopher also serves as a consultant to charter, public, private, and Christian schools across the country. He is the director at the Alcuin Fellowship with the Institute for Classical Schools and the former board vice president of the Society for Classical Learning. He has published numerous articles and lectures that are widely used throughout the United States and the English-speaking world.
