Kenneth Crowther - Founding Principal of New Classical Education School in Australia

Kenneth Crowther - Founding Principal of New Classical Education School in Australia

My guest today is Kenneth Crowther, the founding principal of St John Henry Newman College, an independent Catholic classical school in Brisbane.

He recently completed his PhD in early modern cultural history and Shakespeare. He writes and speaks often about classical education in the liberal arts, and cohosts a podcast all about it, called Educating Humans.

1. The Chinese appreciate and teach their children Classical Chinese. Indians recognize the importance of Sanskrit. Do Europeans need to have a familiarity with Latin and Greek to understand their own civilization?

2. What is his explanation for why classical education has been phased out from mainstream education in the West?

3. Does learning the classics make someone more religious or at the very least a better citizen?

4. Is he optimistic for a rebirth of classical education in Australia and the West more generally?
