End of Course Test: Urban Classical Education

The passage that Russ cites that convicted him to start an urban classical school was:

“What we are doing is not right. This is a day of good news, and we are keeping it for ourselves. If we wait until daylight, surely punishment will overtake us. Let’s go at once and report this to the royal palace.”
"Today is the day of salvation. Today if you hear his voice do not harden your heart."
"Without a vision the people perish."
"Ask and you shall be given, seek and you shall find, knock and the door shall be opened to you."

Russ thinks that now is a “day of good news” because:

We have enough government funding available to support urban classical education
We have inherited a rich heritage of classical Christian education that we are now successfully bringing to suburban areas–now we must share this wealth with those in the cities who are in great need of this education
We have plenty of qualified classical teachers who can come and teach in urban classical schools

Which of the following is NOT one of Hope Academy’s five core strategies?

The transformation promised in the gospel of Christ
Holding teachers, parents, and students accountable for their responsibilities
Funding the school with scholarship partners
Expecting great things from inner-city families
Engaging and involving inner-city parents
Employing the latest and best technology in the school's classrooms

Freedom requires virtue and virtue requires faith.
The education that is best for the best is best for all.

False

When it comes to raising funds for an urban classical school, we should:

carefully plan our programs and event and execute them with excellence
consider fundraising more about ministry than money
look for a one or two large donors who can help meet the schools financial needs
free up the head of school so he can operate the school with excellence but not be distracted with any fundraising activity

The most important fundraising activities are:

carefully monitored and refined social media campaigns
the personal, warm school tour and the cultivation of meaningful donor relationships
superb auctions, golf outings, and student "marathon" events

Positive liberty means:

freedom for excellence according to the objective vision of natural law ideals
using's ones freedom with an optimistic disposition and outlook

Negative liberty means:

freedom from interference or constraint
the poor and wrong-headed employment of one's freedom of choice

Classical education is desirable for all citizens for these three reasons:

1) without virtue there can be no true personal freedom 2) democracy is unsustainable apart from and education in virtue for all citizens 3) life is more than earning a living
1) society is only as strong as the education system 2) the education system is embedded with the ideals to which a society aspires 3) the ideals of classical education are not currently embedded in our educational system
1) and educated citizen is necessary for a successful democracy 2) a classical education best educates our citizens 3) a classical education will therefore better ensure a successful democracy

In a 250 to 350 word essay, explain why classical education is a fitting and vital means of renewing and blessing the youth of our cities.
