Description
Summary:Johann Sturm's classical curriculum and teaching method obliged students in the later Reformation period to strive for Latin eloquence and a thorough knowledge of classical literature. Their attempt to emulate the ancients' literary, artistic, and civic ideals made humanism the model for education at Strasbourg and at schools throughout Europe modeled after Strasbourg's Gymnasium and Academy. Although Protestant piety was, with classical learning, a goal of education, humanism was not sacrificed to religious indoctrination; for Sturm, like other pre-Reformation humanists, regarded pagan wisdom a harbinger of rather than a challenge to Christian morality.
