NewI've seen the benefits of a Classical Education

Sat, 11/14/20

Our third and fourth daughters were homeschooled in teamwork with a Classical Education program out of Winston-Salem, NC. My wife taught them at home four days a week, and drove them to WS (50 miles away) one day. It was an excellent program, and our daughters continue to show the benefits as adults in their mid to late thirties. Once I was exposed to this approach, I wished our two oldest daughters could have had the same opportunity. Indeed, I would have benefited from it myself, though I had a really excellent high school program at BJA in Greenville, SC.
