We are coming up on our eighth year in Classical Conversations, and we truly love it more each year. For this reason I thought I would take a minute to share what we have learned during the last seven years.
Classical Conversations truly is a classical Christian community.
“To make intercession for men is the most powerful and practical way in which we can express our love for them.” – John Calvin
After directing Challenge B for a year, I’ve come to a conclusion. Classical Conversations’ curriculum choices are pure genius. They effortlessly intertwine to produce a beautiful tapestry of knowledge—one telling God’s story of mankind’s humanness, redemption, and hope for the future.
When I first started homeschooling, someone once told me that my child would become my greatest teacher. I thought that was quaint advice and mostly ridiculous. What could I possible learn from a 4th grader—a nine-year-old?
When my first two children were babies, I had one unique, pressing goal, in which I roundly failed.
Dear tired mamas:
A few weeks ago life for me turned upside down. My family and I were in Athens, Greece at the time. I had moved to Athens to study Greek, and then we received the call no parent wants to receive.
My son had nearly died when the vehicle he was driving flipped six times on interstate 70 just east of Denver, Colorado.
I’ll never forget my Challenge I philosophy assessment.
When you look at Sam Sorbo, you immediately recognize the confident, intellectual actress, model (apparently, an intellectual model is not an oxymoron), radio talk show host and social activist. What you don’t immediately recognize is the passionate, outspoken advocate for homeschooling in general, and Classical Conversations specifically.
