On this episode of In Pursuit of Virtue, Luke and Barry are joined by upper grades faculty Kirsten Daniel and Susan Tolbert to discuss all things grading. Grades are the point of school, right? Find out which teacher does not care about grades for their own kids and which one confessed to lying on a science experiment in 9th grade!

In this episode, we give some updates about changes in administration at GCA. Then, we get into a question submitted from a GCA parent. Jennifer, Jed, David, Luke, and Kaitlin discuss the question: “How can parents support classical education at home? Specifically in the areas of teaching and reinforcing virtue and wisdom?” Ultimately, three factors (among others) must be present for virtue and wisdom to take root: opportunities for kids to grow, opportunities to fail, and opportunities to repent.

In this episode, Dean of the Upper School Luke Shawhan and Dean of the Lower School Kaitlin Short join teacher Barry Kinzer to go through orientation information for families at Grace Classical Academy.

Upcoming episodes of In Pursuit of Virtue will discuss various topics related to Classical education in a Christian context, but this episode is specifically for our GCA community.
