As of 2014, the National Catholic Register reported resurgence in Christ-centered classical education, with 12 diocesan classical schools were operating that year. The executive director of the Institute for Catholic Liberal Education does not expect growth to halt in the future and anticipates significant expansion in diocesan classical academies in the next five years.
This prediction stems from parents and educators showing more interest in integrating religious studies into traditional curricula. Students not only understand what they have been learning in a secular way but also comprehend the theological virtues backing the coursework.
The cohesive inclusion of faith gives students an opportunity to think about specific subject matter and reason with its meaning through lectures and readings. In doing so, they can make a connection between classical education and their religion. This process is likely to make them better prepared on intellectual and spiritual levels.
