How We Homeschool Classically
We are part of an amazing Classical Christian Homeschooling Community, called Classical Conversations.
"Classical Conversations is a mission...
To know God and to make him known.
In every subject, God has hidden His truth and beauty. It is our pleasure as students and teachers to discover Him as we learn. Our studies should also prepare us to reason clearly, speak eloquently,calculate accurately, and write convincingly so that we have the ability to make God known to others.
Classical Conversations is a model...
To combine a biblical worldview and classical tools.
We believe that each child is uniquely and wonderfully made, and the people who know and love a child best (the parents) are the ones most motivated to help that child succeed.
Within that framework of a biblical world view, Classical Conversations teaches parents the classical model--the tools for learning any subject.
The classical model divides learning into three stages:
1. The grammar stage--memorizing facts
2. The dialectic stage--discovering how the facts relate
3. The rhetoric stage--applying the facts.
The Bible refers to these stages in Proverbs 24:3-4 as knowledge, understanding, and wisdom.
Classical Conversations is a method...
To equip parents and encourage students.
Classical Conversations connects families with others who homeschool using the classical model. They become companions who can share the journey."
