Neighborly Love Podcast, Episode 64 – Wisdom Over Addiction: Forming Students for a Distracted World

At Penn Woods Classical Academy, we believe education should shape both the mind and the heart. The Neighborly Love podcast by MindWolves explores the foundations of Christian classical education. It shows how this approach helps students seek truth, live with purpose, and love their neighbors well.

Through biblical wisdom, meaningful stories, and practical insight, host Marc Casciani highlights the values that guide Penn Woods: faith, virtue, and community. Parents exploring educational options will find inspiration here. Educators who are passionate about faith-based learning will, too. Neighborly Love offers encouragement and vision for raising the next generation.

Wisdom Over Addiction: Forming Students for a Distracted World

In this episode, Marc continues his conversation with Dr. Stennett, diving into the practical application of Christian classical education. Listen to discover:

  • How teachers weave virtue and biblical truth into every lesson, from mathematics teaching perseverance to Treasure Island becoming a training ground for moral reasoning.
  • Why the school prioritizes mastery over standardized testing and how they communicate real progress to parents, and
  • The school’s commitment to a phone-free culture, even as they expand into middle school.

We’re preparing students to enter a digital world with wisdom, rather than addiction,” Dr. Stennett explains. This conversation challenges modern educational assumptions and offers hope for parents seeking an alternative that forms character, not just test-takers.

🎧 Perfect for: Parents exploring options, educators seeking renewal, and anyone concerned about raising children in our distracted age.
