What People Are Saying
“I am a homeschooling mama of five with children ranging in grades from ninth to kindergarten. I love that the classical method allows me to have a "one room school house" feel because they are all learning the same information at the same time. And it has allowed my older kiddos to step up into leadership roles and help teach their younger siblings."

"We found classical education after drowning in our first year of homeschool. I was ready to give up. Classical education has allowed our homeschooling days to be full of freedom. Slowing down when needed and moving forward when ready. Homeschooling with classical education has blessed us in immeasurable ways!"
