To know God and to make Him known

Why become a Licensed Director?

If there is no community availability near you, consider starting a new one!

If there is no Classical Conversations community near you or if those close by are already at capacity, then chances are high that you are not the only one in your area who is interested. Why not consider serving both your own family and theirs by starting new community as a Licensed Director?

Classical Conversations® Licensed Directors are equipped to lead local, weekly communities for parents and students learning together and doing life together. Directors build these vibrant, encouraging communities by guiding homeschooling parents in the classical tools of learning, using our curated curriculum.

Those interested in becoming a Director must have a commitment to: serving Christ, homeschooling their children through high school, learning the classical model of education, and guiding other families in their homeschooling journeys. Although it is a great responsibility, the reward of making a positive impact in your community is far worth it. Plus, we’ll be with you every step of the way, offering your resources and guidance through your Local Representative and the Academic Support team. We will also provide you with a predictable income to offset your own homeschooling expenses.

You’ve got this. We’ve got you. Learn more about becoming a Licensed Director today!

Homeschooling

Licensed Directors are committed to homeschooling all of their children through high school.

Christ-centered Worldview

Licensed Directors love God’s Word and are able to apply it to the academics of their programs, defending a Christ-centered worldview. Challenge Directors grow in their ability to integrate God’s Word and the six strands into a conversation that equips children to know God and to make Him known.

Child Enrollment Requirements

In order to show commitment to the mission to know God and to make Him known through a classical educa­tion and to provide continuity to the progress of each program, each Licensed Director should enroll all of their children in an appropriate local community. In certain instances (with Local Representative approval), a parent may become a Licensed Director at home to one student.

Having both graduated from the CLC, we have appreciated the transformative influence in our marriage, family, and local community relationships. We practice hospitable assessment when mentoring others or solving problems at work and home.

John and Rebecca

Completing the CLC was the best thing I have done in terms of taking my skills as a classical educator to the next level… it deepened my understanding of the classical skills of learning and more clearly revealed to me the connection between education and discipleship.

Lauren

When parents and tutors invest time, talent and treasure into the CLC as mentees, they find they come away refined as human beings in how they live and lead at home and in community, CC and otherwise.

Abby

By far, the single best thing that has helped me direct and talk with parents, has been the CLC. It has helped me be a better director, a better parent, and a better leader.

Jennifer

The CLC points us to the Lord and guides us to find truth, beauty and goodness in the subjects we study, but also the relationships within our group, with our families, and with our CC communities.

Kristin

As I have attended the CLC and CLC practicums, I have found fellowship with others…the Mentors in particular, who have poured into my life and understanding the balm of gentle and kind assessment, leading me to even more faith and good works.

Charity

CLC was the perfect amount of time: every other week for two hours, with six meetings. It was manageable and the cost was well worth it! The lessons my mentor presented each time were great, and it was a growing experience.

Kristen

CLC has been great in helping me follow a form in preparing my lessons at home . . . I think through the lessons . . . and how to relate them to the students and create a desire to learn the material. The questions have been very helpful in assessing that the students are following the lessons, too.

Angela

The CLC has had the single largest positive impact on my growth as a classical educator. It is the reason my class feels successful on community day, and it has changed how I give assessment.

Laura G

My Essentials classes are far more engaging, and I am able to clearly see the important pieces of the lesson . . . with the specific students I am walking with, and I’m better able to bring those two elements together in a meaningful way.

Cheree

This has given me so much confidence in . . . my own skills, a desire to seek to improve in showing hospitality to my students, and encouragement that other moms are out there doing the same thing each week!

Brenna

It has helped me grow in leading my classes and my own children to be more efficient, classical, confident, and gracious.

Stephanie

The CLC has given me the confidence to teach my children at home and to lead Essentials in my community.

Courtney

The cohort does a great job of helping parents, teachers, and directors, feel equipped to lead a lesson and a conversation. Each semester [builds] on the previous one nicely, giving a well-rounded picture.
