If your child has been in Classical Conversations Challenge program (7th - 12th grade), I'd love to hear from you about what have been your and your child's experiences of this program. Are you glad you did/are doing Challenge? Why or why not? Pros/Cons? Does Challenge become your entire high school curricula or is it just a portion of what you do during the week? In short, I'd appreciate any thoughts concerning your child's participation in the Challenge program.

My thanks to you all : - )

If your child is in a Classical Conversations Essentials program, please share your experience. I recently attended a Foundations program and think it would be a great fit for my son (he's 10), thus we plan to register for it. After I'd returned home that attending Foundations, I called the Director with some additional questions; she asked if I had considered the Essentials program. I'd never heard of Essentials. She told me about it, and I plan to attend an Essentials class this upcoming Monday. Please share your experience of Essentials. What do you like/dislike about it? Did you like your tutor? What do you like/not like about the way your tutor conducts the class? (I read online that the "tutor is key" in Essentials, but I want to know what traits to look for in a good Essentials tutor as I'm clueless as to what to expect), and this course is expensive so I want to make a good decision for our family.
