		Paideia will play a crucial role in a future democratic society with respect to the internalisation of its values, which would necessarlily be the ones derived by its basic principles of organisation: the principle of autonomy and the principle of community, which would be built into the institutions of an inclusive democracy.
		Paideia was of course at the centre of political philosophy in the past, from Plato to Rousseau.
		Paideia as civic schooling involves the development of citizens’ self-activity by using their very self-activity as a means of internalising the democratic institutions and the values consistent with them.

		Paideia Academy takes its name from the Bible in Ephesians 6:4, where the apostle Paul exhorts fathers to bring up their “children in the training (paideia) and admonition of the Lord.” This concept, the paideia of the Lord, involves much more than a child’s formal education.
		Paideia Academy opened its doors in September 2004 with a vision for a school that would assist parents in bringing up their children in the Paideia of the Lord by providing academic instruction for their children that is distinctly classical, Christ-centered, and covenantal.
		Utilizing classical tools of learning and a distinctly Christian worldview approach to education, we desire to graduate young men and women who, as servants of Christ, are equipped to be critical thinkers, and able communicators capable of engaging the culture with the claims of the gospel.

		Teachers can explore the Binary Paideia approach which enables students to discover the essence or nature of various cultures, and articulate what makes a particular society what it is. Students will contrast four essential aspects of each society.

	The Paideia of God - Doug Wilson
		Formal education is essential to the process of paideia, of course, but the boundaries of paideia are much wider than the boundaries of what we understand as education.
		Culture is not possible apart from a paideia, and paideia (in the fullest sense) is not possible apart from an established culture.
		This paideia prepares for and ushers in a true Christian culture, and once that culture is established, the paideia of God is the ordained means for maintaining that culture as it prepares young Christian children to assume their station within Christendom.

		To find the true impact of Paideia, The Center for Educational Research and Evaluation at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro evaluated Paideia and listed its findings in the 1999-2000 "Evaluating the Paideia Program in Guilford County Schools" report.
		The report takes a look at this teaching method - including its known successes and challenges - based on how well it can prepare students to be active learners, thinkers, and problem-solvers in a state system that largely uses standardized testing as a measure of student's overall skill and knowledge.
		Results of classroom, school, and district level implementation, specifically how educators apply Paideia philosophy and instructional methods in real schools, have been captured most notably in a four-year study of Paideia implementation in Guilford County North Carolina.

	Issue 4 - The Democratic Paideia project (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		Any effort to establish paideia within today’s schools would generate a radical inconsistency within the present institutional framework, threatening the elites’ power to reproduce themselves and the heteronomous social relations upon which they are based.
		However, both these two aims of paideia i.e paideia as civic schooling, cultivating students’ capacity for “self-reflective activity and deliberation” on the path to autonomy, and paedeia as personal training presuppose an enlargement of understanding through Socratic questioning.
		In our view, the selection of materials for Socratic dialogue appropriate to a democratic paideia, particularly during the stages of emancipatory education prior to the successful transition to an authentically inclusive democracy demands more discerning criteria to be determined by individuals in their lived cultural and historical contexts.
