Classical Conversations is an innovative educational program that combines classical education with a supportive community of like-minded families. Founded in 1997, Classical Conversations has grown into a nationwide movement, offering homeschooling families a unique and effective approach to learning. The first time my friend Carrie told me about “CC” I knew I wanted to explore this option. Unfortunately, at that time I was still working full time and could not commit to the CC community but, I never gave up our goal to get there. a few years later when doTERRA was my full-time job I made CC a priority and we have never looked back.
Here are 8 of my favorite things about Classical Conversations:

The curriculum is designed to develop students’ critical thinking skills, and it incorporates a variety of learning styles to meet the needs of every student.

Classical Conversations offers a supportive community of like-minded families who share a commitment to providing their children with a high-quality education. Families meet together weekly for classes, and parents have the opportunity to connect and support each other in their homeschooling journey.

Classical Conversations is based on the classical education model, which emphasizes the development of language skills, critical thinking, and a deep understanding of history and culture. This approach has been proven to be highly effective in preparing students for college and beyond.

One of the benefits of homeschooling with Classical Conversations is the flexibility it provides. Families can tailor the program to meet the individual needs of their children, and they can adjust the pace and schedule as needed.
