Join the Conversation!
The heart of Classical Conversations is truly the local community. We encourage you to take one of these final steps to connect directly with a CC in your area:
- Attend an Information Meeting – These sessions are usually hosted by an experienced local Director, who will provide a detailed overview of the CC programs, curriculum, and community structure. This will give you a chance to have all your specific questions answered.
- Experience Community in action at a local CC community – Visit an open house which allows you and your children to observe classes, meet families and feel the excitement of the classical model being practiced.
