Classical Conversations is a program that teaches through a Christian worldview, employing three keys to a great education: Classical, Christian and Community. Students study for a 30 week period covering topics such as: Math (Logic); Latin (Grammar); Natural Science and Biology (Research); Clear Reasoning and Apologetics (Rhetoric); Literature, Discussion and Persuasive Writing (Expo & Comp); Cartography (Debate). Over the course of 30 weeks, students meet one day a week, known as “community day,” and a tutor introduces the new material for the coming week. Students then study the material more in depth at home under the guidance and direction of their parent(s).
