Education Reserved for Princes and Nobility |
 |
As far back as Alexander the Great, fatherly kings have secured
learned tutors to educate their princely sons. Too often tutors only
educated the minds of their pupils. Mentoring, a combination of
tutoring and discipleship, educated both mind AND heart.
Jessica Hulcy, co-author of KONOS Curriculum and
homeschooling mom of 24 years, believes home schoolers have the rare
opportunity to employ the form of education once reserved for princes
and nobility, the expanded form of tutoring called mentoring to raise up
the next generation of princes and nobility to serve the one true King.
