YES! This is the area where classical education shines! If Laura Ingalls Wilder could do classical education in a one –room school house with students ranging in age from 6-16, you can too. Mothers homeschooling seven children have admitted that their first Classical Conversations year was the first peaceful year in their homeschool!
The Foundations curriculum is divided into three cycles. Your children will all be on the same cycle and can therefore gather together each day to memorize the timelines and answers. Believe it or not, the little ones easily keep pace with older children when it comes to memorization work (further evidence that the classical method utilizes the Created order). Parents may then assign individual projects and readings based on the knowledge they are memorizing together.
THE FOUNDATIONS “CYCLES” (24 WEEKS EACH)
Cycle One (2009) – biology, earth science, math and language practice, fine art & history of the ancients, Asia, Africa
Cycle Two – astronomy, physical science, math & language practice, fine art & history of the Reformation to Moderns
Cycle Three – anatomy, chemistry, origins, math practice, intro. to grammar diagramming, fine art & history of America, translating John 1 into Latin
