Our Speaker
Nanette Levi is married to Ray and together they have four children, ages 21 to 8. They have been homeschooling with Classical Conversations since 2015. Nanette is a Miami native who received a Juris Doctorate from the University of Miami School of Law. She practiced law in San Francisco, and now in Miami, along with being a wife and mother she is also a tutor and speaker-trainer for CC. She has helped lead an annual women’s ministry conference in her church for the past 5 years. Nanette is the new Foundations/Essentials director for Coral Gables community. Her favorite thing to do is to travel and eat out with family and friends. Nanette’s passion is to declare God's glory in her life by testifying as to how God has delivered her and her family through trials and continues to take them from triumph to triumph. God led Nanette and her family to Classical Conversations and has made it abundantly clear that this is program for them!
Why Attend a Parent Practicum?
Many parents begin the homeschooling journey determined to give their children a better education than the one they received. But many of us wish we could transform our own educations, too. Or perhaps we don't feel quite equipped for teaching our children and we want answers and support. Our parent practicums offer exactly that!
Each year, 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. 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.
