"Last week,
The Australian newspaper reported some parents have been prompted
to start their own schools to give their children the type of education they
want.
One of these is Hartford College in Sydney, a new Catholic school with an
emphasis on the liberal arts, including classical literature, languages and
philosophy. It has about 22 students enrolled and the founding parents say they
want to engage the “whole” child and will have mentors for each student.
Previously when we think of parents taking their child’s education into their
own hands, we may think of homeschooling (which is certainly growing in
Australia).
But there is a long tradition of parents and local communities starting their
own schools if they feel what’s on offer is not suiting their families’ needs."
