Our Programs By Age

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 the 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.

This was the best Practicum that we have ever attended. We worshipped together, prayed together, and grew together. I’m in awe. It truly blessed us. We feel more equipped.

John

CC Parent

This was the first [Practicum] I was able to attend and I truly enjoyed it. I gained support and encouragement throughout the entire training.

Katy

CC Parent

I was encouraged, challenged, and equipped with new information. I was also reminded of wonderful tools I have used in the past and may need to sharpen a bit. Thank you Classical Conversations!

Melissa

CC Parent

I love Practicum because it reminds me to stop checking the boxes and pursue truth, beauty, and goodness.

Michele

CC Parent

The lost tools of learning we practice at Practicum can benefit everyone! Even if you’re not homeschooling. Even if you’re not parenting. The classical method can help anyone learn anything.

April

CC Parent

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.

Laura

CC Parent

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.

Cindy

Grandmother

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.

Cecile

CC Parent

As a longtime homeschooler, you can find 350 Classically-centered curricula on the market. What sets CC apart isn’t the carefully crafted history sentences, the infectious list of pronouns the kids chant, or the way you can tweak it to be whatever you want at home. It’s the community.

Heather

CC Parent

But what about socialization? I have to admit, I heard this question a couple times when I first decided to homeschool, but most people I come across don’t ask it anymore. If they do inquire about how I keep my kids socialized, I get to tell them about the amazing community God brought into our lives with Classical Conversations.

Wendy

CC Parent

My CC Community has been an integral part of our homeschool experience. I can’t imagine being on this journey alone, as a ‘lone wolf.’ I love how CC covers aspects of homeschooling that I would not get to on my own, such as weekly science experiments and art projects, and memorizing a world history Timeline of events. CC provides a ‘one stop shop’ for all of my homeschooling needs.

Autumn

CC Parent

Community is a very valuable part of CC. What other curriculum has weekly modeling lessons for us parents?

Heather

CC Parent

Our CC family is so much more than a group of fellow homeschoolers. They are the family who can truly understand my daily struggles as a homeschooling mom. They are the family who supported me emotionally and mentally when my husband passed away. They are the family that welcomed me with open arms when we had to move out of state and join a new CC family! There is nothing comparable to our CC family. I am so truly grateful.

Janelle

CC Parent

My director and fellow parents are tutors are more than colleagues; they’re friends. I’m thankful for the support, accountability, and friendship they offer.
