I am currently reading Douglas Wilson's The Case for Classical Christian Education, which I highly recommend to any student and/or parent. The basic premise is that the current government school system is a flop, and Bible-believing parents should get their students out of there pronto! The reason being that it amounts to sin to keep them there because children (especially) are to be brought up in the paideia of God, not the paideia of man.

Wilson's alternative to the government school system is the Classical Christian school. By "Classical," Wilson means: 1) the "methodology of the Trivium," and 2) the "heritage of Western civilization." By "Christian" he means the fundamental truth that Christ is Lord of ALL. There is no discipline that can be separated from Him, so all disciplines must be studied with Him at the center, for He is the Center to which all things tend.

He argues for the study of Latin. While I don't disagree with his argument, I think a stronger argument can be made for the study of Greek. The main point (which by iyself should be enough) of my argument being that if education is to be Christocentric, then it would also have to be Bibliocentric, and a Bible-centered curriculum would be best achieved by the study of Greek.

One of the most fascinating points that he makes is the correlation between the Latin Trivium (grammar, dialectic, and rhetoric) and the Wisdom Literature Trivium (knowledge, understanding, and wisdom). There is a very nice bijection between these two Trivium's.
