Neighborly Love Podcast, Episode 65 – Formation Over Information

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.

Formation Over Information

What happens when education stops being about filling heads with facts and starts forming hearts and minds for a lifetime?

In this episode, Marc Casciani sits down with Dr. Eric Stennett to explore Penn Woods Classical Academy’s exciting middle school launch, where Socratic dialogue replaces worksheets, productive struggle trumps passive consumption, and students learn to seek truth rather than just collect answers.

Discover:

  • Why dynamic silence in the classroom changes everything,
  • How parents and teachers partner in character formation, and
  • What it truly means to graduate a whole person grounded in faith, virtue, freedom, and lifelong learning.

This is education with eternal purpose.
