Jean McDermott: What is classical education? By Daily Herald Email the author Published 8:20 am Friday, October 6, 2017 Jean McDermott Pacelli Catholic Schools In the spring of 2015, the Pacelli Visioning Task Force – comprised of 22 members of the Austin community and representing a wide range of educational and employment backgrounds, including both public and parochial school educators – concluded that our school should formally adopt the classical, Catholic educational model. In 2015-2016, K – 12 curriculum was reviewed with a classical lens. Based on this review, in 2016-2017, Pacelli Elementary School adopted Singapore Math and a more phonics-based reading program, Super Kids. Latin was integrated, in developmentally appropriate ways, into all grades K – 12. A team also spent time visiting both private and public classical schools in Minnesota and Wisconsin to learn from those who are already immersed in the classical tradition. Upon the suggestion of several of these schools, we
