Perennialism sees education as cultivating enduring truths and developing students' intellectual abilities. Perennialists believe that the fundamental truths of humanity and the world do not change over time. They advocate for a curriculum focused on mastering core subjects like history, literature, mathematics and science by studying the great works of history's finest thinkers. The goal is to train students' intellects and ability to think deeply and analytically about universal and timeless ideas. According to perennialists, a good education involves seeking truths from civilizations of the past that can help students understand the permanent aspects of human nature and society.
