Registration Now Open for 2017-2018!
I am now taking registration for next year. Although it may seem like we have plenty of space and it doesn't matter when you turn in your paperwork, it's important for me to know who is planning to return as we're planning for the entire region. It is also important as I have conversations with the church about what our possible needs may be for next year. The forms were e-mailed last week. Please let me know if you didn't get it.

Save the dates!
Other practicum events will be announced soon!
Be sure to visit a Parent Practicum this summer as we reason together and discuss logic. Your local book rep will be on site at these events, so you can save the shipping costs and take home the available books and materials immediately.
Parent Practicum
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.
Student camps are offered at low cost for families attending together and parents attend FREE.
Parent Practicums—where lifelong learning can be a family affair!
Attendance at a Practicum is required for all who plan to tutor or sub. If you can't make this one, you'll need to attend another one which may be further away.

The new CC bookstore is here!
Robert Bortin's welcome to the new online bookstore:
I am very excited to announce that after months of work our new online homeschool bookstore is now open for business! Our new store platform is significantly more mobile friendly and makes it easier for you to purchase the curriculum and books that are right for your family. We hope you like the ease of use of the new site and that it will give you more time to spend helping your children “to know God, and to make Him known.”
This fall will be our 20th anniversary, and we will be celebrating around the country this October. Please sign up for our emails to receive more information about this and other upcoming events and sales in your area. We are very privileged that you allow us to walk alongside you during your homeschool journey. Like my mom always says, “if you are going to do something hard for 12 years, you need some good friends there to help you out.” So, if you are homeschooling just this one year or all the way through high school, we are here to help you cultivate the confidence and skills that are already inside of you to make this the best year yet.
If you are new to homeschooling or Classical Conversations, we strongly suggest that you start with Classical Christian Education Made Approachable. It is an easy read and will confirm your decision to homeschool. If you are still unsure about homeschooling or the classical model of education, this book will help you see that you truly can be successful in homeschooling your children using the classical model of education.
Please explore our new homeschool bookstore website and rate any products that you already own so that others can glean from your knowledge. As we transition from our old online bookstore to our new store, we will be operating both sites concurrently for a while. Please contact customer service with any feedback you may have so that we can make your shopping experience more enjoyable.
