As part of Epoch TV’s special series on alternative models of education, Jan Jekielek sits down with Michael Fitzgerald, principal of Northern Schoolhouse, a New York private school focused on classical literature and art, immersion in nature, and nurturing strong moral character based on time-tested virtues.

β€œThis is the trend in education: β€˜It doesn’t matter what you’re reading, as long as you’re reading.’ And I actually disagree with that. I think it’s very important what you’re reading,” Fitzgerald says.
β€œIn the end, we want them to become autonomous people who know how to move themselves well through the world, as truly good people who recognize beauty,” he says.

β€œIf you recognize beauty, you can recognize what’s good. And those are highly correlated in the classical world, especially in the Socratic sense. They talk a lot about truth, beauty, and goodness.”
