In this summer flashback episode of BaseCamp Live, host Davies Owens revisits an insightful conversation with Megan Atherton, founder of Common Sense Classical and program director at Golden View Classical Academy.

Megan addresses a common concern: Is classical Christian education elitist? She explores why many prospective families feel intimidated by the uniforms, rigorous curriculum, and emphasis on excellence – and how these schools can communicate their mission with humility, gratitude, and dignity.

Key topics include:

  • Why classical education is not just for the elite
  • How schools can cultivate excellence without fostering arrogance
  • The difference between making judgments and being judgmental
  • Why classical education is for every child whose family is on board with the mission
  • Practical ways parents and educators can nurture confidence and humility in students

Megan shares candid insights on how classical schools can better welcome families, build inclusive communities, and form students marked by wisdom, virtue, and grace – not prideful elitism.

🎧 Whether you’re a school leader, teacher, or parent navigating these questions, this episode will encourage and equip you.
