SCHOLA: Traveling to Europe this summer?

Don't forget this essential phrasebook.

SCHOLA 101

schol a: 1) An intermission of work, leisure for learning, learned conversation, debate, disputation, lecture, dissertation. 2) A meeting place for teachers and pupils, place for instruction, place of learning, school. 3) The disciples of a teacher, body of followers, school, sect. 4) An acronym for my tortuous blog title "Secular Classical Homeschoolers' Odyssean Learning Adventure." 5) How my Boston cousins pronounce "scholar." 6) Someone who studies at 10 o'clock for a dilla or a dolla.

These are the blatherings of a introverted, autodidactic, champion of The Enlightenment raising three daughters. At one time or another we have homeschooled, public schooled, Catholic schooled, cyber-schooled and unschooled, and been inspired variously by The Well-Trained Mind, A Thomas Jefferson Education, Climbing Parnassus, and the writings of Charlotte Mason, John Holt, and Benjamin Franklin.

I try not to get wrapped up in labels, but we are secular and we are classical-ish.

We travel. A lot. Sometimes to the other side of the state and sometimes to the other side of the planet. Join us on our journey as we search for our home, navigate the waters of self-education, lounge with the lotus-eaters, and bash a Cyclops or two.
