What is Classical Conversations? We are part of a nationwide network of classical, Christian communities providing academic programs, events, and services to local home school communities, parents, and educators. Our supplemental academic program meets once a week and provides a committed Christian community of structure and support, along with great fellowship for the students and parents. Each of our programs utilizes the classical tools of learning and emphasizes life-long learning skills.

Our kindergarten – 6th grade program meets here at FPC on Mondays. In the morning, all children attend age appropriate groups and are presented with material they will learn throughout the coming week. This is called “Foundations”. After lunch, the 3rd-6th graders participate in the “Essentials” program where they are exposed to grammar rules, sentence diagramming, advanced writing skills and have an opportunity to put their math knowledge to work playing math games.
