A Classical Education is language-intensive and not image focused. It demands that students use and understand words, not video images.
It is also history intensive and aims to help students understand the view of human endeavor from the beginning until now.
It trains the mind to analyze and draw conclusions. It cultivates and enforces self discipline.
To quote the book,


"It produces literate, curious, intelligent students who have a wide range of interests and ability to followup on them."

In short, it trains students to be self-reliant and to learn how to learn.
That would essentially give confidence and skills for life.
