What We Do

Our Mission is to:

  1. embody classical principles and pedagogies, in both professional and personal development, through the discipline of reflective reading and practise.

  2. support, encourage, and coach home educators, tutors, and classroom teachers to develop their own art of teaching in their own context.

  3. offer tutoring, seminars, workshops to teen writers and readers

We aim to:

  • learn and teach from a place of rest

  • learn and teach with literature and nature

  • embody a classical intellectual tradition

  • curate a living and responsive curriculum for human flourishing

  • reframe the Australian curriculum in a classical Christian paradigm

About Amy

Writing Life

I am currently studying a Grad Dip of Creative Writing and Communication. Finding the works of Leland Ryken, Aristotle, Plato as part of this course, among others, has been a delightful surprise.

So far you can find my work in Stories of Life and the CPQ blog.
