We are homeschooling through the national program called Classical Conversations (www.classicalconversations.com ). I have actually only known about CC for about a year and only started considering it for our family since the spring. This program takes a classical approach to learning (studying & memorizing the subjects that stand the test of time) with a Christian worldview. Perfect for us, right?
Our journey to this point, has had the hand of God all over it. Let me give a few examples:
- I first really learned about CC from a college friend's blog (www.suzanneshares.com) and one of my best girlfriends from Brownsville. What a blessing to have the knowledge of these 2 ladies to help me my first year!
- While talking to my friend on the phone about this one night, I said, "Lisa, God's just going to have to make $500 fall out of the sky to pay for Luke's tuition." The NEXT DAY, someone gave us $500 for no reason. When we decided to homeschool Jonah, too, $500 more fell from the sky.
- When we decided to go with CC, I wasn't sure if there would be a local group in the Pac NW, much less in our area. Long story short, our chapter meets in OUR church. Yep, as in 1 mile from our house. Awesome!
- Thus far, all our homeschool expenses have been taken care of. Whether it was a check from my mom, a resource mailed from Lisa, a gift card from Jennie, a borrowed laminator from Theresa or discovering that the library lets you print out 70 pages from the computer per week for free (Yea, baby!), we have not had many out of pocket expenses.
