Andrew Youngblood - Author, Know Thyself: Classical, Catholic Education and the Discovery of Self
Andrew Youngblood has been a classical educator and education consultant for over twenty years. He has helped found over thirty classical Catholic high schools and trained countless administrators and teachers on how to implement classical education from pre-K through college.

In stark contrast to the monastic silence he once experienced, he now lives in the suburbs of Philadelphia, working in a large Catholic high school and surrounded at home by a houseful of teenagers and dogs.
