Parent Practicum in Christiansburg, VA

 Join us for an exciting 3 days of free equipping and encouragement as we “improve our vision for homeschooling” using grammar, dialectic, and rhetoric skills.
Homeschooling is a journey that takes vision and careful planning.  Check your bearings and plan the best route for your family at one of our free signature 3-Day events.  Our morning speakers and afternoon facilitators will show you practical tools for bringing breadth and depth to your family’s learning; while Leigh Bortins, founder of Classical Conversations, via a multi-media presentation, shares her vision for education that prepares students to think classically, not just in the classroom, but in all areas of life.
 Your students will be learning, also, in one of our economically-priced camps for kids.  Whether they are being cared for in our nursery, playing and chanting in our play camps, memorizing and drawing God’s world in our geo-draw camps, or learning about language in one of our IEW or Latin camps, your students are sure to enjoy the group learning environment.
 True education should teach students the tools of learning and impart to them the vision to understand their world and defend their liberties.  Come “reclaim the Founders’ vision and groom your children for freedom.”
