Why I do Classical Conversations WITHOUT a Community | It’s not what you think!

Could you please elaborate more what you do on a day to day basis of what you do, since you aren't apart of a community?

Thank you for this video! Would you be willing to chat with me about this! I’m in a similar situation that I need an honest opinion on

I homeschooled with the CC foundations program community but due to financial reasons we couldn’t we apart of the Essentials program community. I made it work but we sure missed our Essentials community.

This is my fourth year doing it at hone with my 6 kids. As opposed to only doing memory work, this year I’m doing some essentials with my 12 & 14yo and my 12yo is also doing some challenge A. We definitely pick and choose what we want to study and go at our own pace. It has been beneficial so far.

Our kids learning alongside their peers is one of the best parts of CC in my opinion. Our community meets at our church which is a HUGE plus. Our community never did the virtual thing and if they did we would have elected to do the same thing you did.

This is exactly what I've been wanting to do! Thank you for sharing and encouraging me. I'm happy to know CC can be done without a community. You might have said this and I missed it, but other than the app, do you buy their curriculum books? Or does the app lay everything out for you?

Do you review any of the previous weeks CC memory work with your kiddos?..or do you just spend a week at a time on the new grammar since they repeat the cycles a few times before starting essentials.
It can be very overwhelming, but your videos are wonderful- thank you!!!

I am so glad I found your channel! I have been using Gentle & Classical Preschool but have been wanting to add more for my son. I definitely did not know you could do CC without a community. How do I find out which cycle they are on right now? It would be great to not have to fight for the books like you mentioned! 😂

We're looking into classical conversations now so this was definitely helpful to help me gain more info on it. They offered me the option to be a tutor which sounds like what I would make would basically cover our costs (mentioning just incase you join a community and want to cut down on the price!) But it's definitely pricey.

We just use the app for memory work!!! We do it at our pace and we would need a community that goes at a slower pace!!! We bought cycle 3 as we needed the science from cycle 3!!!

Hi I have some questions about CC and I was wondering if I could email you

I’ve been praying about CC and I felt like I didn’t want to do it because I don’t like my hands tied down to one type of curriculum .. I like the freedom of pivoting and exploring and sitting in a topic of interest for a long time .. I also have an eclectic style but I wanted to try CC just for the memorizing to help my 4 year old remember things more and try and different type of me memorization… so I feel that coming across this video is an answered prayer .. I also can’t be on a strict schedule and we also have a lot of community now so I’m ok .. so now do I have to just download and pay for the app ? My son just turned 4

As a Challenge 2 student, I love the community as the best part of homeschooling. I think I love the community because it’s my main friend group. If your kid has sports and other groups I can see how the community would be different.

Thank you for this video! It is great to hear others opinions on doing CC without a community, I like the idea of CC but was put off by the community aspect as well, because, like you, my kids have their friends from church who they see at youth group, Sunday church services and then activities throughout the week so to add on the community aspect was too much for me.

You make great points!

Thank you for your input. I have been in a community for 3 years now, but as you have said I feel like community is too expensive for the foundations level.

Thank you. I plan an amalgam of CC + Sonya Schaffer (simply Charlotte Mason) + Montessori. So skipping the cc community is best for my family and gives me more freedom.

Community is the only reason I am even looking at it. I'm just blown away with the costs, just starting with the application fees alone. We just recently went to see what it was about, and really enjoyed it. But the lady over it told me, I would have to pay an application fee of 145.00, 4 times. I have 3 girls, and she told me my youngest would be in foundations and essentials, thats why. Im just kind of overwhelmed by that alone. That's 580.00 just for the application fee.

Please do a video on how to actually implement this step by step.

What has been your experience with Classical Conversations community? I’d love to hear your thoughts!
