Our Mission
Protecting human-centered education and classical arts and practices for our children may be the most important thing we can do in this era as AI emerges
“The question is not, how much does the youth know? when he has finished his education, but how much does he care? and about how many orders of things does he care? In fact, how large is the room in which he finds his feet set? and, therefore, how full is the life he has before him?”
— Charlotte Mason
Our Journey
Our founder Sharon McKeeman has a degree in art education and has spent her adult life involved in public, private, charter, and home education.
After the chaos of school closures she witnessed much uncertainty in the educational community over how to best help students recoup learning loss and re-engage with a love for learning. Many families and educators were stepping up to the plate with good intentions, but students were still struggling. At the same time some poorly structured programs were taking advantage of the situation by promising parents positive results while relying on AI and failing to offer solid academics.
Advocacy for educational choice has been a key component in our journey. However, as our founder personally experienced the tangible healing properties of classical music and dance she realized this was a pathway to re-igniting student’s passion for learning. Let Them Learn recognizes that tangible practices and live performance are antithesis to the demoralization that AI slop is trying to force on the youth of today.
Core academic subjects don’t exist in a vacuum, but instead a classical education teaches literature, mathematics, and science entertwined within the framework of the history and art of the era being studied. Let Them Learn asserts one of the most meaningful ways to inspire youth is to connect them to the complexity and beauty of classical arts and education. This is a path to form leaders of tomorrow full of character, creativity, resilience, depth, and discipline.
Many families are sharing what they can with their children but don’t have the resources for live experiences or performances that can act as the formative catalysts of a long-lasting love for classical arts and academics.
Many educators and artists are working hard to perfect and preserve their art form or subject area but are in need of connection and funding.
Let Them Learn believes in the power of community and exists to connect students and families with classical artists and educators in order to preserve and empower meaningful education.
