Classical Conversations – Our 3rd Year Update I love reading Heidi’s experience with CC.

Please notice I’m not offering you book lists or curriculum add-ons here. That’s because I don’t believe you need it. If you’re new to classical education, I think the first and best thing you can do is to dive into understanding classical education first as the parent. Then proceed from there.

    I’ve enjoyed your website! Love your no-fold laundry approach! Brilliant! I noticed a slight subject-verb agreement error worth noting…it should read “What are classical conversations” instead of “is”.

    Keep sharing! Your material is excellent.
