Classical ConversationsWithin the framework of a biblical worldview, Classical Conversations teaches parents the classical model: the tools for learning any subject. The classical model divides learning into three stages: 1) Grammar stage – memorizing the facts, 2) Dialectic stage – discovering how the facts relate, 3) Rhetoric stage – applying the facts. The Bible refers to these stages in Proverbs 24:3-4 as knowledge, understanding and wisdom. Our mission is to know God and make Him known; we do that through modeling a biblical worldview and classical tools, by equipping parents and encouraging students. Location: EC 24
