ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Educational perennialism

Educational perennialism is a type of educational philosophy that believes that the best way to learn is by studying the great ideas and works of people throughout history. It focuses on teaching timeless values and skills (like literature, math, science, and history) that are still relevant today, no matter how long ago they were created. Through studying the classic works and ideas of the past, students learn to think critically and become better prepared for the future.
