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:
