This week on From the Archives, I’m revisiting a conversation with Leigh Bortins, internationally acclaimed educator, author, and founder of Classical Conversations (CC). Leigh is widely recognized for her gift of making the tools of learning clear, accessible, and inspiring for parents and students alike.
As the chief visionary officer of CC, Leigh has played a major role in shaping the modern classical education movement, supporting families in all 50 states and across 30 countries. She has authored books like The Core, The Question, and The Conversation, offering parents practical insight into teaching the classical trivium at home.
In this episode, Leigh shares her heart for home-centered learning and the global growth of the classical Christian education model. We also talk about:
The roots and future of the classical education movement.
How parents can confidently step into teaching their children at home.
Why the trivium—grammar, logic, and rhetoric—still matters today.
What it looks like to raise children as lifelong learners.
Whether you’re a parent, educator, or just curious about how education is being reimagined, this conversation will leave you inspired to think differently about how we learn and grow.
