I always understood classical education to be an education in the languages of Greek, Hebrew, and Latin, as well as in mathematics. Whatever it is, I'm afraid I fail to see the pagan connection here. The early church fathers quoted from the Greek philosophers. Greek philosophy was of some theological importance in the Western church (I don't know to what extent the Greeks affected the Eastern church, though). Unless one is a fundamentalist, I don't see why the idea of classical education would seem offensive to Christians.
To the Christian, paganism is not OK. While I see nothing pagan about classical education, I nonetheless affirm that it is not acceptable to practice paganism, because God has declared this to be idolatry.

Why would that be?
You practice paganism but just don't realize it.
To a Jew this is what you do, because according to their bible God declared it.
