What does CC offer?

Foundations is for ages 4-12. We meet on Tuesdays, 9 am-noon, for 24 weeks each year. We work on memory work in history, math, Latin, English grammar, science, and geography. We also learn about some of the fundamentals of music and about a few of the great composers, do science experiments and fine arts projects together and have lots of practice giving oral presentations. Students are placed in classes of not more than 8 with a paid tutor who is also a homeschooling mom.

Essentials is for 4th-6th graders. We meet in the afternoon after Foundations from 1:00-3:00. We spend 45 minutes on intensive English grammar, 30 minutes on Math games, and 45 minutes on Institute for Excellence in Writing assignments. The kids love it, and the parents have been delighted with the boost that Essentials provides to their children’s academics.

Challenge is for 7th-12th graders. Students meet with a tutor weekly for 30 weeks each year to study core subjects such as literature, history, science with labs, math, logic, debate, theology, geography, and two foreign languages. Emphasis during class time is on discussion, presentation and lab work with students taking responsibility for additional research, reading, and assignments throughout the week.
