Praise for this book

“Leaders who can cast a vision for their people as well as effectively administrate are rare. But Brian Daigle is one such leader. In this pithy guide to starting a classical Christian school, Daigle offers wisdom and essential practical advice beyond his years, not only for new schools, but for older schools who need these essential reminders and encouragements to continue on.”
– Ed Lang, Headmaster at Geneva Academy in Monroe, Louisiana

“Jesus never said, ‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart OR with all your mind.’ But sometimes, parents wanting Christian education make this distinction. They either want the academic tools to advance their child into the best college or they want an environment that will nurture the child’s spiritual growth. Why opt for this or that when both are available? One of the biggest educational secrets in America today is classical Christian education. It may very well be the underpinning of a future Renaissance and Reformation. But don’t rush in unaware of how to be both classical and Christian in a school. Brian Daigle has been in the trenches; he has faced the howling winds; he has climbed the summits. You will either learn about starting a school from this book, or you will ignore it and learn the lessons the hard way. Tolle lege!”
– Ben House, Headmaster at Veritas Academy in Texarkana, Texas.

“Written with as much wisdom as candor, So You Want to Start a School? shows how Daigle practices what he preaches. It’s a step by step guide, but one within a narrative that begins and ends in Love.”
– Jessica Hooten Wilson, Associate Professor of Literature and Creative Writing at John Brown University

“So You Want to Start a School? is packed with practical wisdom and experience in a small package. A must-read for anyone involved in classical Christian education, and the kind of book to keep near your desk and return to often.”
– Daniel Foucachon, CEO of Roman Roads Media
