Join us as we prepare for the year ahead!
Morning Sessions
Each year, our parents come together and 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.! 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.
History and Debate
This year we will be focusing on history and debate. How do we ignite a passion for learning about our past? Learn ways to make history come alive for each level and stage of learning as well as practice tried and true methods that help students truly engage in this subject. Delve into the area of debate and learn how we can teach our children to develop logical arguments to defend their stances on anything from politics to social issues to their faith.
Afternoon Sessions
In the afternoons, we have breakout sessions to better prepare our tutors and parents who are at different stages of understanding and experience with our programs and classical education. While new parents are learning more about the basics of the classical model, our tutors are being trained in tools to use in their classrooms to drill grammar, encourage discussion, and facilitate leadership opportunities. You are more than welcome to join our training sessions for these tutors.
