I recently stumbled upon an excellent lecture given by the late Dr. R.C. Sproul that discussed the traditional educational system in Europe. The motivation for this lecture was the immediate crises that our nation has found itself in with regard to our students ability to think critically and express themselves meaningfully.
The European system was based upon three fundamental components: Grammar (Not just composition and rules as we tend to think of it), Dialectic, and Rhetoric. For any Christian educator, I highly recommend listening to this lecture.
