Laura Berquist, the founder of Mother of Divine Grace School, gives a comprehensive explanation of why Classical education and Catholic education are essentially the same thing, whether it be homeschooling or a more traditional Catholic school.

A classic liberal arts education forms a man for life and not simply for a particular career or vocation. It is ultimately ordered to knowing and loving God and perfecting the intellect.
