National leaders on two continents have been successfully trained by the classical method for over two thousand years. Why did we abandon this successful method at the turn of the 20th Century?
At this critical time in history,
the common twelve-year educational paradigm
cannot possibly begin to prepare your children
for the calling on their lives.
Give Your Family a Classical Makeover
Classical home education has seen an explosive rebirth in the past few years in the homeschool community. You could easily spend weeks pouring over all the homeschool requirements, curriculum, teaching resources, and interpretations of classical education…and you would feel overwhelmed with the burden of trying to comprehend and apply all that you learned. You only have a few years to shape your child’s heart and mind.
With so much at stake and so little time, which way should you go?
I’ve been through a similar journey, and I want you to know that what I discovered was liberating. Classical education, if taught like it was for most of Western history, can be enormously fun and energizing! All you have to do is teach three skills to mastery (language, thought, and speech) while discussing meaningful ideas like truth, goodness, and beauty.
Home school parents need practical instructions for turning the idea of a classical Christian home education into reality. I show you exactly how to teach these three skills through 12 real-life case studies with children ranging in age from 5 to 13 years old. Using my “must-know” checklists, I have developed customized strategic semester plans for each child, a to-do list for the parents, and a to-do list for the children. Use these personal “makeovers” as a guide to develop your own strategic plans.
What Are Other Homeschoolers Saying About Trivium Mastery?
“Diane Lockman is brilliant. Just brilliant. I just finished reading her new book, Trivium Mastery, and it is amazing. If you are currently a classical homeschooler, or are interested in the classical method, please get this book. It will change your views on what authentic classical homeschooling truly is. There are dozens and dozens of quotes from Diane that I have highlighted in my copy and I wish I could share them, but I wouldn’t want to ruin all the fun of reading the book for yourself!” [Amy Stults, Co-Founder of Heart of the Matter]
“Trivium Mastery is a revolutionary look at the classical education model. I believe Trivium Mastery has the potential to attract a dedicated following similar to that of other classical homeschool manuals, and I eagerly await the publication of the sequel. I would encourage all homeschoolers to take a good look at this book, especially those who have discarded the classical paradigm because they thought it was too difficult to attain.” [Kathy Gelzer, The Old Schoolhouse Magazine]
Trivium Mastery is an excellent introduction and guide to one of the most popular styles of homeschooling. Diane Lockman has done her homework and cares deeply about classical homeschooling. A recommended read.” [Rebecca Kochenderfer, Senior Editor and Co-Founder, Homeschool.com]
"Since the entire book consists of 2-4 page chapters, it’s surprisingly easy to read in bits and pieces – perfect for the busy parent! Lockman’s book will help many of us think about classical education in a whole new way – and should bring many new families into the classical fold.” [Mary Pride, Publisher of
