Classical Conversations

This has totally changed my life. I am so thankful for what it brings to my homeschool and life. Some basic information....

It’s a Mission
The purpose of education is to know God and to make Him known.

Our purpose is to lead the home-centered education movement by equipping parents and students with the classical tools of learning needed to discover the order and beauty of God’s creation and to inspire others to do the same.

We believe parents are their children’s primary teachers not because parents know everything but because each child is uniquely (and wonderfully!) made and because the people who know and love a child best are the ones most motivated to help that child succeed.

We empower and support parents not only through our Classical Conversations Communities across the country but also through our specially designed C3 online community, Parent Practicums, academic retreats, and our Certified Instructor Program. All of these services ultimately equip parents to educate their children with the classical tools of learning and a biblical worldview so that they might impact the world for God’s glory.

Spelling Plus

I love this spelling program for several reasons. One is that you can use this every year. I love the dictation book that goes along with it and gives sentences that can be used after each list has been mastered. It is nothing fancy and very easy to use. I just take a list and see what he knows. If he can spell those words I move on. The trouble words are practiced until mastered. Then each day I use the dictation sentences that line up with that list. Very simple and takes about 15 minutes a day.

Classical Conversations

The time has come.....to start blogging again. I have no excuse for such neglect!
So much has changed on our homeschool and I have to say for the better. We are now part of Classical Conversations and it has made such a difference for us. The missing link to our education has been found. I have always felt we were educating classically but always felt like something was missing. After attending an info meeting and visiting a local group, I knew instantly that this was it. The funny thing was the communities were full. So I thought to myself, I will start a new group, how hard could it be? Lucky for me God was in agreement and has helped me every step of the way! Who knew we would have a full community the first year? It has been an amazing journey that has brought such wonderful people into my life, and has improved our homeschool experience so much. My children love it and and I love watching them grow like never before. We have never looked back. Allison will move to Challenge A next year and Jonathan will continue with Foundations and begin Essentials.
We have 6 weeks left and I am already getting excited about cycle 3 for next year. Once again our community is already full and plans are in the works for the next school year. Being a director has brought a few challenges but most of all joy in knowing that this really does make a difference.
