Classical Conversations is coming to a town near us!

A Classical Christian Homeschool Service

Information Meeting   February 28, 2008, 6:30-8:30 p.m.

Christ Church, PCA 1301 North Linden, Normal, Illinois 

The Foundations Program is for children 12 and under.   This simple, yet complete program enables a mother to teach her children to master a subject easily and efficiently.  For 24 weeks, mothers and children meet at one location where the students are placed in groups of 8 by age/grade and taught to learn classically by a trained tutor.  Students participate in art projects, science experiments, oral and written presentations, and in a rigorous memorization program.  A parent must attend.

Foundations Grammar Topics

World History, American History, Science, Geography, English, Latin, Math

Foundations Projects

Music Theory, Art History,  Composers, Drawing,  Science Experiments, Presentations

The Essentials Program is for 3^rd -6^th grade students who want an intensive Language Arts program.  They meet from 1:00-3:00 each week after their Foundations Program.  The Essentials program meets one day a week for 24 weeks each school year. The students spend 45 minutes studying English grammar, 45 minutes on a writing assignment from the Institute for Excellence in Writing, and 30 minutes of Math Slam, a fun way of drilling math facts.

The Challenge Program is for students 12 and older. For 30 weeks, they study six challenging subjects at home. Then they practice dialectic & rhetorical skills in a weekly 6 hour program along with tutoring in math, foreign language, and complete science labs.  Students also receive suggestions for improving their written work.  We call each level a Challenge rather than a grade as we want students to be at the level they are prepared to study.
