The cover of The Well-Trained Mind, first edition.

The Well-Trained Mind (published 1999 by W.W. Norton) serves as a resource for parents wanting to educate their children according to the classical model of education. It offers a step-by-step, grade-by-grade, subject-by-subject guide to the classical pattern of education called the trivium, replete with recommended book lists and resource guides. This site complements the information in the book, providing updated resources, articles, links, and other information useful to parents who are actively involved in their family's education.
