Homeschooling Free 3 day practicum

Come join our Classical Conversations communities of the Triangle region as they host this free 3-day practicum for families interested in classical education and learning how it can encourage and bless home schooling families. Join us for timely conversations about timeless ideas. In our morning sessions, we will learn more about how to implement a classical, Christian education at home. We will delve into Latin and history . . . the whole story of the human endeavor. Morning sessions will include rich discussions and teaching practice. Afternoon facilitators will guide you through the challenge of homeschooling through high school. We will catch the high school vision as well as discussing practical matters like Latin, language, testing, and credits. Camps will be offered for students ages 0-14 for a small fee.
