3 Day Homeschool Conference
To equip and encourage the home education parent
Our yearly 3-Day Parent Practicums offer encouragement, inspiration, and equipping to parents and interested educators. Each summer, parents at all stages of the homeschooling journey spend three days delving into the underlying philosophy and the practicalities of the classical model; then, we challenge ourselves to dig deeper into a specific subject, discovering the truths behind the facts and becoming students ourselves. We learn new ideas and vocabulary, we begin to understand how to identify and fill in the gaps in our own educations, and we wrestle with big ideas in the company of a like-minded community; in short, we practice learning classically! As an added bonus, we get to model the skills of learning for our children; we show them how exciting it is to learn new ideas and demonstrate that learning is a lifelong pursuit.
Welcome to "Navigating History" - Parent Practicum 2016!

GEODRAW CAMP AGES 6 - 8
During this Geo-Drawing Camp, your children will spend time drawing and mastering God's world (earth’s geography). The students will explore the different stages of the classical model in drawing, using Mona Brooks’s Drawing with Children. These campers will leave with a great understanding of Cycle 2 Geography, which focuses on European countries.
HISTORY CAMP AGES 9 +
Using Story of the World, PreScripts: Medieval and World History Cursive and Art Lessons, and Foundations Cycle 2 Audio songs, students will love learning about the heroes of history and handiwork.
