Episode Details

On this episode I spoke with Mr. Thomas Fickley and Fr. Mark Perkins, the founders of St. Dunstan's Academy in Virginia. St. Dunstan's is an Anglican boarding school for your men that started three years ago. They emphasize helping young men grow spiritually, intellectually, and physically through daily prayer, classical education, and the physical labor of working with their hands. 

We talked about the foundation of St. Dunstan's, why co-ed schools make learning difficult, the symbiotic relationship of the liberal arts with the common arts, and why learning is more than acquiring facts.
