Looking for a Classical Christian Co-op for your Middle & High School Students?
This fall Classical Support Group (CSG), a local homeschool cooperative serving grammar age students (pre K-6th grade), is expanding to include Dialectic/Rhetoric (D/R) age students (7th– 10th grade or higher at families’ discretion) . CSG assists parents in equipping their children with a Biblical worldview and the classical “tools of learning.”
Curriculum Overview: (Links are provided so you can easily peruse the web sites to review these curricula.) All classes are a la carte and mostly parent-taught.
- Tapestry of Grace for the humanities, primarily history, literature and geography. Students cycle through world history every four years, with all ages (grammar, dialectic and rhetoric) studying the same timeline of history each week, each at their own learning level. We’ll be studying Year 3 (1800s) this fall. www.tapestryofgrace.com/index.php
- Apologia for science at all levels, including General Science, Physical Science & Biology (depending on student enrollment and teacher availability). www.apologia.com

CSG seeks to support homeschooling families and provide weekly accountability as they fulfill their role in educating their children. For most classes parent teachers, using their God-given gifts and talents, teach students in a variety of challenging academic topics. Our goal is that the combination of a God-centered and classical education will be used to build in students a solid academic foundation within a distinctly Christian worldview.
CSG meets on Wednesdays at Covenant Presbyterian Church in Harrisonburg. For more information or to obtain registration materials, contact Lisa Smith at go.bucks@comcast.net or 540-908-1740, or Julie Smith at juliesmithteaches@gmail.com or 540-810-5415.
