My children thoroughly enjoyed the geography art camp and the writing camp! The teachers were enthusiastic! My kids learned so much in a short time, but they also enjoyed the learning! I am also grateful (and amazed) that CC is able to offer these student camps at such an economical price! We hope there will be another practicum offered in our city again next year! Thank you! - Grateful Home Schooling Parents in Ohio
We were poured into all week! While it was hard to make the time, I appreciate your "holding to the standard" of attending the practicums. It would be impossible to communicate the CC Vision and Mission and inspire new Directors any other way than face-to-face. Thank you for all your hard work and sacrifice to make your programs excellent! - Lisa Nehring, South Dakota
I just wanted to put a plug in for Classical Conversations parent practicums. I had the opportunity to attend the practicum she held in South Carolina this week, and it was fantastic! It is well worth the time, the driving and the money it costs to either put your child in the camp offered during the practicum or find a babysitter. The parent portion is free, which is unbelievable considering what I learned!!!
If you've heard Leigh speak before, you know that she has an amazing vision for Christ-centered education. Hearing her for three days opened my mind to a whole new level of thinking about teaching my kids. I learned a ton of practical tips about teaching languages, math and writing, and I came away feeling greatly encouraged and pumped up for the new school year!
During a wonderful 3-Day Practicum in Front Royal, Virginia my very artistic 9 year old daughter
Brooke, visited with me over lunch on the second day. She was taking
part in the IEW camp those days. Brooke is usually very
subdued. She does not wear her heart on her sleeve and it's difficult for me to "read" her at times. She doesn't often tell me what's buzzing around in her creative mind.
As we walked across the parking lot anticipating a lunch break she said to me, excitedly, "Guess what mom?".
I perked with interest, "What is it Brooke?".
With great enthusiasm she stated, "I know what I want
to be when I grow up!" (Of course we had all assumed she would become a famous
children's book illustrator!)
I replied eagerly, "And what would that be?".
"I want to be a Classical Conversation's Tutor!", she exclaimed.
I was thrilled that our involvement had created in her
such a passion, and I said, "That's wonderful honey!".
Somewhat under her breath she added, "Yeah, but if that doesn't work out
I guess I'll just be a veterinarian!".
Go figure......
