With Classical Conversations, students learn with the belief that God is at the center of every subject. The approach is a classical one that runs through three cycles (one per year). Students join a community in their city where they meet in-person once per week and learn new grammar, complete a science project and an art project, give a weekly individual presentation, and review prior concepts. Each cycle touches on math, English, Latin, geography, a timeline of the world, history, and science. Parents are then able to pick their own subject curriculums to supplement the learning at home.
