The Well-Trained Mind (revised edition)

The guide to classical education at home.

The Well-Trained Mind (revised edition)

Feeling overwhelmed? Not sure where to begin with this crazy idea you have about homeschooling your family? Anxious about what curriculum to pick for English, or Science, or (gulp!) Latin?

The Well-Trained Mind is the perfect book for those just starting out with homeschooling, those who have a few years of experience, or those who have been educating their families for a long time and just need to read some recommendations for working with older students.

Hundreds of thousands of moms and dads have found The Well-Trained Mind to be the perfect guide as they explore the classical model of education, and as they try to teach their families. It offers a step-by-step, grade-by-grade, subject-by-subject guide to the classical pattern of education called the trivium, replete with recommended book lists and resource guides.

Homeschooling Today commented, “Outstanding! ... Should be on every home educator's reference bookshelf.”

The Old Schoolhouse Magazine said the following: Jessie Wise and Susan Wise Bauer have in many ways jump-started Classical education within the homeschooling movement. If your goal or destination is a thorough, rich education — one without ‘holes’ — then hop on this train. This is the most comprehensive, current, and insightful guide to the Classical method that I’ve ever seen. Whether you are just beginning your journey or a veteran Classical educator, this book is key. A must for every homeschool reference library.”
