“Through wisdom a house is built; and understanding it establishes itself; and through knowledge the rooms will be filled with all precious and pleasant riches. Proverbs 24:3, 4Education is vital in life. If we didn't have education, no one would be able to do anything challenging with their mind unless trained by experience. This is what Plato knew thousands of years ago. He knew that education produced balance and harmony of character. This educational model is not seen in public education, except in the classical model, which borrowed many of its concepts. This type of education, however, aimed to bring out political men capable of fighting. As Christians, however, we should always seek in our education to glorify God, to articulate well our faith in the living God we know and love. This is what was missing from Plato's educational model. In his vision of education, Plato observed that children absorb information like sponges. He concluded that if good influence and habitation began early, it would produce well-balanced citizens. He also concluded that character qualities must also begin at an early age because children have not yet formed an understanding of what is right and what is wrong. These observations accord with the Trivium view of education, which many classical Christian groups borrow from. The Trivium observes: “Man has three mental capacities: one for gathering information-knowledge. One second to organize information into a logical order: understanding. A third to put this information and ordering into practical use: wisdom.” To realize his observations on education, Plato formed his model of literary, formal and musical educational method. He understood that children learn the good and beauty of learning through literature. Therefore, Plato's method leaves out the truths of God, the Trivium method puts God at the center, around which learning revolves. Therefore, using the Trivium model will prepare our children to have skill and accuracy in sharing the truths of God's word. This model seeks to glorify God while training the child to be resourceful, intelligent, and most importantly, to have a solid foundation in the word of God. This is true classical education according to God.
