Classical Education Made Approachable - Jennifer Richey (Classical Conversations)
It may sound daunting but come hear how to make a classical education approachable. The classical learning model gradually shapes how children think and learn, by building on how they naturally develop. We begin in the early years with children’s natural inclination to imitate others. Your child builds a rich vocabulary (“grammar”) by repeating and chanting rhymes and songs. As your child grows, we help you channel their curiosity into asking questions and investigating through dialogue (“dialectic”). Finally, we provide opportunities for your maturing student to become a critical thinker and problem solver through writing and conversation (“rhetoric”).
