CC has a motto- Christian Community Doing Life Together...Love it!
It brings parents, families, and homeschoolers together... Go to their website and type in your zip code. You are sure to find a community near you. Foundations starts at 4 years old. You meet one day a week and stay on campus with your child. You then school your child at home every other weekday. I tie in Charlotte Mason's methods of living books with CC. Reading is so important.
Next year prep...
Cycle 1 is ancient history next year. And let me tell you, Gather Round Ancient History Workbooks Pre-Reader through Readers is happening... (Whichever age you need) Pre-Reader - High School
CC is a christian homeschool community meeting in churches weekly. They have an amazing classical education program with a strong writing, grammar, and literature program (plus memory work and strong material in Bible, Science, Latin, Geography, History, Math, and Fine Arts), prepping students for college. They have associations with Christian colleges and high school students can graduate with an associates degree. CC is a conservative, Christian community all over the world that God has blessed to flourish. They equip and train parents as the main disciples of their kiddos. They also provide community for parents to partner together in life.
And, you choose how much of their spine you want to implement with your child. Older grades follow the Institute of Excellence in Writing curriculum with tutors. As a parent, you are free to pick and choose, and hodge podge from other curriculums as well. You're the parent, its all up to you. :)
This Charlotte Mason Booklist is for a prek- through elementary child...
---Also, I plan on having plastic book bins (large) for each cycle to keep at home away from other books)
