Welcome to the Blog


It was wonderful to have our campus families together last evening! Thank you for being there. Would you commit to continue to pray for our campus in the days and weeks ahead?!

And...

Welcome to your online connection for our Classical Conversations Community, West Chester! This site will serve as a place to keep everyone up to date on information and will be a point of connection with tutors. We will post up to the minute changes in our schedule due to weather, special events and field trips and other helpful reminders on this site.

Click on the links to the left and they will take you to your individual tutors page. Please note a change from the handbook - Steve Greer will be the tutor for Apprentices and Kristie Asimos will tutor Journeymen.Tutors will post weekly updates, letting you know what went on in class, any assignments, etc.

If you are concerned that you will forget to check during the week just subscribe to applicable pages. All you have to do is go to the page you want to subscribe to and enter your email address. When you do this, every time there is a new post it will be sent to your email inbox. You have to subscribe to each page that you want to receive. I would suggest subscribing to this page and to any class page that correlates to classes that your children are in.

One final note... we have changed the order of the science experiments so that we are doing outdoor nature and animal walks in September rather than November.
Here is the science experiment schedule for the first  10 weeks of the year. We will not change the order of the grammar facts as presented in the Foundations Guide, we are just rearranging the science experiments:

Week 1 - Nature Study Walk - Plants
Week 2 - Nature Study Walk - Animals
Week 3 - Flower Part Identification
Week 4 - Blending (Van Cleave's lesson #57) and Ground Temperature (Van Cleave's lesson #58)
Week 5 - Baby Bean (Van Cleave's lesson #45)
Week 6 - Telegraph Lines (Van Cleave's lesson #54) and Belly Up (Van Cleave's lesson #56)
Week 7 - Pollution (Van Cleave's lesson #62)
Week 8 - Naked Egg (Van Cleave's lesson #63) and Shrinking Egg (Van Cleave's lesson #64)
Week 9 - Fooling your tongue (Van Cleave's lesson #65) and Trickery (Van Cleave's lesson #66)
Week 10 - Crayfish Anatomy lab

Enjoy the end of your summer and start of a new school year!

Isaiah 41:10: "So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand."
