Help for Junior High Homeschooling

Homeschooling during the grammar school years can be fairly easy to accomplish thanks to the many wonderful curriculum choices available. But when the crucial junior high years 

are approaching, many parents turn to the Challenge level classes at Classical Conversations 

for help. Challenge A is a homeschool class for junior high, typically the 7th grade, and 

it has been amazing for our family to experience. The class meets together one day 

per week, with an experienced tutor, and students work at home with their parent 

or homeschool teacher the other four days. Subjects included are 

Saxon Math 8/7 (Algebra), Henle Latin 1, World Geography, Rhetoric, Biology, and Writing. This meets all the requirements for junior high and you can be confident that your 7th grader will be on track, and quite a bit ahead, of his/her peers in the public school realm. In the University Area of Charlotte, Challenge A meets every Tuesday starting in mid-August from 8:30 am to 3 pm at Crossway Community Church.

Charlotte Classical Conversations

I am so excited to announce our new location for Classical Conversations in Charlotte, NC! Starting in August 2012, we will be meeting at Crossway Community Church on Eastfield Drive in the University area of Charlotte. For homeschoolers who are familiar with Classical Conversations, this news should come as no surprise. There are almost 200 hundred campuses across the country and the number is only growing. The University area of Charlotte, and more specifically, the Highland Creek area, was desperate for a home CC location. Many of its residents have been driving long distances to attend other campuses outside of the city. The new location, known as Mallard Creek Classical Conversations, is the first campus in North Charlotte within the city limits. Although spots are filling quickly, there are still several openings remaining in each of the Foundations classes as well as in Challenge A, the seventh grade level. Please visit the CC website, www.classicalconversations.com and click on the state of North Carolina at the top of the home page. Scroll down the list of locations and you will now see Mallard Creek listed as one of them. In addition, you may contact Pam Burton at beehive4@carolina.rr.com for more information about Classical Conversations or the new Charlotte location.
