You are so blessed with this opportunity in Bowling Green. Chesterton Academy of Annapolis, started in 2018, saved our son (now a junior) from the swirling drain that has become our local public school system, and also the hyper-sports-centric local Catholic high school. Prayers coming your way!
Well written. But I would note that the statement about the "elite of every generation" is partly wrong. Prior to the post WW2 centralization and consolidation the USA had a decentralized, vast, diversified, pluralistic, and vibrant educational system of systems in which many scientists, engineers, business leaders, and professionals did not attend what we now call college, instead learning through apprenticeships, independent professional schools, military, various kinds of technical institutes, and other forms of specialized training. Even during the Progressive Era, education remained decentralized, with a mix of classical, vocational, and applied learning pathways coexisting. Some elements of classicism, with some american twists, were in *some* ways part of the civic religion of the country and were just sort of part of the, like, knowledge zeitgeist, so the statement is sort of still correct in ways
