Katie attended K through 3rd at Agathos Classical when the Lord called us into homeschooling. The last two years we have been homeschooling with Classical Conversations. The Classical model is a wonderful model. We did not have a negative experience with Agathos nor with CC. However, when I look to the future, I truly feel that a 2-day drop-off tutorial will provide so much more relational-equity for my girls. I know it will help my relationship with both of my girls to outsource some of the educational pieces of the process. But I also understand that there will be much fruit for both of them with other Christian adults pouring into them, other like-minded families in their community, and just having a place to build trust, goodwill, and emotional capital over time through consistency and care.

Katie is smart, kind, athletic, funny, and overall just the best. She loves learning and is a sponge. Outside of her studies, she has an interest in Jiu Jitsu, piano, swimming, and watching her Greenbay Packers or Auburn Tigers play football. Last and certainly not least, she has loves to read. Currently, her favorite series include Harry Potter, Chronicles of Narnia, City Spies, and Keeper of the Lost Cities.

Katie enjoys learning and is so enthusiastic in the classroom. She has a solid work ethic for her age and rarely gives me a hard time about tending to her studies. She has a great attitude about her curriculum and often sees her struggles as challenges and can push herself forward. She can be a bit of a perfectionist which does put some unneeded pressure on herself. But the beauty of homeschooling is that I get to walk her through those pressures and help her understand the truth.

When we have to discipline Katie, she is usually very tearful and sad because she has already been hard on herself. Katie learns from her mistakes and rarely do we have to attend the same disciplinary issues over and over with Katie.

Katie loves learning and loves making friends. I'm encouraged for a tutorial that can offer Katie both a wonderful education and a strong group of Christ-loving friends.

Elizabeth is spunky, funny, loyal, a rule follower, and overall just the best. She is very interested in Jiu Jitsu, piano, and anything else that her big sister is doing. She has recently learned to read and LOVES Mo Willems books. Elizabeth has a fun competitive nature and enjoys to race on Mario Kart. She also enjoys snuggling on the couch with a good movie, playing ANY board game or card game, and playing with her dogs.

Elizabeth has had a wonderful start to her education and truly loves to learn. She is excited for all things reading and math. It has been so fun to watch Elizabeth learn and to see her get so excited for new skills. She will wake up and get right to school because "it is just so fun, mommy".

Elizabeth is my child who will try and hold her own when I'm disciplining her. This can look like explaining her side, yelling or even stomping her feet. However, this is how she responds to me....and it is ALWAYS because she thinks she hasn't been heard or seen. I know for a fact, this is not how she would respond to anyone else.

I'm very encouraged for how a drop-off will offer Elizabeth some independence. I believe she will truly shine at SCA.
