Who we are and why we built this site.

We are Sarah McInnis and Barbara Hansen, and we love classical education. A long, long time ago in another time of our lives, we met as home schooling parents at an amazing classical Christian co-op. We also were 4H parents and sat and talked for hours at the county fairgrounds while the kids took care of their animals. You can image what many of these conversations were about. . . classical education. Fast forward to today and all our classically educated children are adults living productive lives, getting married, and having children. While working at the same classical Christian school, Sarah and I realized we wanted to serve the larger classical Christian education community and so Classical Hub was born. We have been on both sides of the classical education coin. We know classical home schooling, and we know what it is like to work in a classical Christian school as educators. We built this site to help and support you in this journey to inspire, love, and teach students. We want teachers to be able to find quality material that they know is classical and Christian in its content. Join us in helping build a site that supports classical educators.

 

Barbara Hansen left her last classical Christian school to start Classical Hub. Currently, she is the Dean of Faculty at Seattle Classical Christian School and starting on her master’s degree in Instruction Coaching and Curriculum. Barbara raised four classically educated children who have started their own families. Presently, there are eight grandchildren with on eon the way.

After being inspired by the the Well-Trained Mind when her oldest daughter was in kindergarten, Sarah McInnis embarked on her own pursuit of the true, the good, and the beautiful by home schooling her five children in the classical method. She didn’t stop there, however. Sarah has written history curriculum for a classical co-op and the Rafiki Foundation, taught Latin at a classical school, and has trained teachers in a classical school in Kenya. She currently teaches French for an online academy.
