• ~Good news on the Classical Education front~

  The one major concern I had about moving was leaving our dear Classical and Christian school. We have invested three years in Classical education, and I so desired my children to continue being education in the Classical method. I am very grateful for God’s providence; I received this exciting invitation the other day and am thrilled for our children to take part in the study center. Another wonderful blessing is that the study center is just miles from the parish house! Glory be to God for all things!

  Interested in a Christian Classical Study Center?

  We desire to support and enhance the efforts of homeschoolers to provide quality Christian Classical education by:
  
  *involving students in the great conversation with Classical works, learning to critique literature from a Christian world-view
  
  *developing an appreciation of our Christian heritage and its influence on Western civilization
  
  *stressing literary excellence
  *facilitating dialogue and debate for students
  *providing opportunities for student collaboration
  *sharing the responsibility of preparing quality core-curriculum learning experiences for our children.
  
  We have used the Blackburn Study Center in Pittsburgh , Pennsylvania , as a model for our study center

  ( www.blackburnstudycenter.org )
  
  Our goal is to include 8-15 students per classroom in the following groupings:
  
  1st/2nd 3rd/4th 5th/6th 7th 9th 10th-12th
  
  We will share the cost of the tutors, supplies, curriculum, etc. among the families involved. We would like to hire 3-4 experienced tutors for our middle and high-school aged students (dialectic and rhetoric) to teach the following subjects:
  
  Omnibus (History, Theology, and Literature), Science, Latin, Writing, and Logic.
  
  Our grammar-school students will be taught by parent-teachers. We will offer the following classes for grammar students:
  
  History, Science, Literature, introduction to Latin, and Writing/Grammar.
