Classical Conversations supports local communities of like-minded families that meet weekly for academic seminars (such as: science labs, Logic, math, Debate, and many more) and fellowship. The Challenge program is designed to nurture your upper middle school through high school level student. You will find supportive mentors, encouraging peers, and challenging academic work.
Our Junior High & High School Program (Challenge) is for students 12 and older. For 30 weeks they study 6 challenging subjects at home while practicing dialectic & rhetorical skills in a weekly class. Students use our academically challenging curriculum, which includes Saxon Math, Apologia sciences, classic literature, writing reports, debates, and much more. A trained and experienced home schooling parent tutors the students in math, foreign language, and science labs. Students also receive accountability and suggestions for improving their written work. Other coursework is shared through facilitated discussions. Challenge Programs foster student development and strengthens the life-long learning skills of grammar, exposition, debate, logic, rhetoric, and research.

Our son is about to graduate, and he has been homeschooled all the way. He's an 'A' student, and a great fellow.
YOU can do it too!
Many people get intimidated thinking they can't, but there is very good curriculum available that will do most of the hard part for you; there are many support groups, and you can homeschool under church 'umbrella' programs like Churchville Christian School in Maryland.
You have to evaluate your priorities. You might think it is going to be very hard, but I don't think it will be as hard as dealing with what the liberal school systems and the peer pressure does to your kids.
With homeschooling, at least you have a fighting chance at success, and CONTROL of the process.
Will you have to give some things up and make some life changes?
Yes, probably so. But many of them are ones you need to make anyway. Look around you and see if you want to continue on the path this world is on.
Take the time to check out homeschooling. It's worth it.
I have heard this is a great program.
As a public school teacher, let me say far too many bright and gentle children (of all cultures and ethnicities) are being lost as we accommodate and placate the lower performing students. We have turned our classrooms into intellectual ghettos. Sad, indeed.
You are exactly right, 8:35.
And the real tragedy is that there are no real consequences for that except for the students and parents (and for the teachers who can't do their job.)
