Learning in community is what CC is all about! We learn in 3 stages. First - we ask questions to learn the grammar (What? When? Where?) of every subject. Second - we see relationships (How? Why?) between various pieces of knowledge. Third - we learn to articulate (Can you explain or persuade?) what we know by speaking and writing about it. We have fun being together also!


We have openings in our 2012-2013 Grants Pass community. Foundations is for ages: 4-11, Essentials is for ages 9-11. Our newest addition is Challenge A which is being directed by Jenifer Noble. This class is for ages 12-14. They will meet on the same day and same place as Foundations and Essentials. It's exciting to see the Lord adding to and expanding our community! We are thankful for the generosity of The Pursuit Church in allowing us to continue meeting there. 


Our mission is to equip parents to be the best teachers for their children, all to the glory of God. The parent continues to be the teacher; we come along side to assist and encourage.

Going to the Retirement Home

After a fantastic year of learning
we had to share with others!

We did our group John 1:1-7 recitation,
John 1 Latin song, the class presentations and
our final group Orchestra Song.
Then we visited with the residents.

The residents were a great audience
and were willing to talk with the students.

See all those smiling faces!

CCGP 2011-2012 Closing Program

We had a wonderful evening with family and friends seeing a slice of what the students have learned over our 24 weeks together. Each class did a presentation of something or a couple of things that they enjoyed. It was amazing and entertaining!

Three students were awarded Memory Master - they memorized all the grammar (over 400 pieces of information) from Math, English, Science, History, Latin, Scripture & Geography! Congratulations!

We ended the program with a slide show of our year. Then we had some refreshments and participated with our ancestors in U.S. history by doing some folk dancing of the 17th century. It truly was a celebration to remember!

We were reminded from one of our dads that with
Christ going before us and His Holy Spirit
in us we are equipped to change the planet!

I was enjoying the Abecedarians presentation so much I only remembered to take a picture at the end when they were huddling up for prayer. It was a kick to see them at one point throw off the wigs they were wearing at just the right time in their song.

One of the Apprentice classes with their signs.
I didn't get a picture of our other Apprentice class -
I think they were the ones who threw the
tea bags (tea party) - so fun!

Journeymen class with their props and motions!

Masters class rocks out!

The Essentials class doing their Jeopardy game -
it was a tie between the guys and girls!
