"To know God and to make Him known"
Classical Conversations (CC) is a global organization that provides a structured framework for families practicing classical Christian education. It is designed to empower parents to be their children’s primary teachers while providing the accountability and fellowship of a local community. What truly sets CC apart is its specific combination of the classical model, Christian worldview, and community-centered approach. We invite you to learn more and get in touch to arrange for a visit on one of our community days.

The Classical Model: The Trivium
The Classical Model: The Trivium
CC structures its curriculum around the Trivium, a three-stage process that aligns with a child’s natural cognitive development:
Grammar (Foundations): In the early years, children have a natural ability to memorize facts. CC focuses on "pegs" of knowledge—songs, chants, and repetition of history, science, Latin, English, math, timeline, and geography.
Dialectic (Essentials/Challenge): As children reach middle school age and start asking "why?", the focus shifts to logic and understanding the relationships between different pieces of information.
Rhetoric (Challenge): In high school, students learn to express themselves clearly and persuasively, applying the facts and logic they have mastered to defend their beliefs and solve complex problems.
While other programs focus on what to think (information delivery),
Classical Conversations focuses on how to learn (the tools of learning)
within a supportive, faith-based community.
