Catholic academy sees enrollment rebound as demand for classical education grows

Diocese of Rockford Superintendent Dr. Kim White and Ashley Gaura join ‘Fox & Friends Weekend’ to discuss the rise of classical education across the U.S., with a renewed focus on the humanities over technology.

Dr. Kim White, Superintendent of Schools for the Diocese of Rockford, and Ashley Gaura, principal of St. John's Catholic Academy, explain how classical education is experiencing a significant enrollment turnaround in Illinois. This traditional approach emphasizes logic and rhetoric over technology, fostering critical thinking skills in students like Noah Schweinsberg. This academic rigor is helping Catholic schools thrive in an evolving educational landscape.
