To know God and to make Him known

Our Programs

Classical Conversations is so much more than a homeschooling program. Everything centers around community. Working with like-minded families, parents are supported as they learn alongside their children. Whether studying math, science, English, or just how to think critically, you will find yourself redeeming your own education as you are equipped with resources and training to teach your children not what to learn, but how to learn. With engaging, hands-on learning opportunities for all ages, students broaden their minds and develop a Christian worldview with every passing year.

Foundations

Age 4+

Great education starts with a firm foundation.

Homeschool with your elementary- and middle-aged children to build a solid understanding across core subject areas including English, math, history, science, fine arts and Latin. Foundations combines both Christian at-home and community-based learning models and resources to instill a broad range of vital skills and competencies.

Scribblers

Age 4–8

Play sparks curiosity.

Resources are recommended that provide activities for engaging little ones in learning through play. Your early elementary-aged children will hone fine motor skills and develop basic literacy as their curiosity is sparked and they develop a sense of wonder at the world around us.

Essentials

Age 9+

Words, numbers, and sentences are essential to language development.

The Essentials program takes late elementary and middle school students far beyond what they would practice on a worksheet. Mixing memorization of strategic vocabulary, rules, and lists with a series of analytical tasks, they will learn strong written and oral language construction and usage skills. Through these exercises and hands-on-activities, students emerge prepared to tackle foreign languages, essays, and pre-algebra confidently.

Challenge

Age 12+

Students will rise to a challenge.

Our Challenge program encourages junior high and high-school aged students to think critically and engage in dialectical discovery through each year-long program. With consistent progression, students will learn to craft persuasive rhetorical arguments as they deepen their connection to their minds, their community, and their faith.

It is here, in Challenge, that the homeschool journey really becomes fun. Working both independently and in community, students and parents alike will be amazed at what they are able to accomplish together, as they progress beyond the homeschool coursework and begin preparing college transcripts and even earning college credits.

CLC was the perfect amount of time: every other week for two hours, with six meetings. It was manageable and the cost was well worth it! The lessons my mentor presented each time were great, and it was a growing experience.

Kristen

CLC has been great in helping me follow a form in preparing my lessons at home . . . I think through the lessons . . . and how to relate them to the students and create a desire to learn the material. The questions have been very helpful in assessing that the students are following the lessons, too.

Angela

The CLC has had the single largest positive impact on my growth as a classical educator. It is the reason my class feels successful on community day, and it has changed how I give assessment.

Laura G

My Essentials classes are far more engaging, and I am able to clearly see the important pieces of the lesson . . . with the specific students I am walking with, and I’m better able to bring those two elements together in a meaningful way.

Cheree

This has given me so much confidence in . . . my own skills, a desire to seek to improve in showing hospitality to my students, and encouragement that other moms are out there doing the same thing each week!

Brenna

It has helped me grow in leading my classes and my own children to be more efficient, classical, confident, and gracious.

Stephanie

The CLC has given me the confidence to teach my children at home and to lead Essentials in my community.

Courtney

The cohort does a great job of helping parents, teachers, and directors, feel equipped to lead a lesson and a conversation. Each semester [builds] on the previous one nicely, giving a well-rounded picture.

The encouragement and support from other parents is vital. I enjoy learning from those before me in their journey, encouraging those beside me, and sharing with those coming behind.

I am a grandmother homeschooling my 9-year-old granddaughter who has been through a lot of trauma with both parents. The moms, Tutors and Director have truly been encouraging and most accepting of this old grandma and her granddaughter. We are going into our 5th year at CC.

My CC community breathes flavor, energy, and structure into my homeschool. The steady support, motivation to learn perpetually, and sweet fellowship is vital to me personally and to my family.
