I learned today that a liberal arts education - the study of literature, languages, philosophy, history, sciences and mathematics - is the education that befits a free man, or woman, as opposed to a slave or servant. The term became known during the Roman Empire, when only freeborn men and women would receive an education outside of vocational skills.
I think the term is befitting a Montessori school where we strive to make children free.
