High-School Classes
The National Christian Forensics and Communications Association (NCFCA) believes that formal speech and debate can provide a means for home schooled students to learn and exercise analytical and oratorical skills, addressing life issues from a Biblical world view in a manner that glorifies God. To provide these opportunities to home schooled students, NCFCA shall facilitate qualifying tournaments throughout the country and the annual national tournament. Contact Rene Leetun, the SVCF Club Coordinator at 540.234.9934 or rjleetun@gmail.com .

Beginning in 2010, this program meets at the same time/ location as the Foundations program geared for K4 – 6th grade.

Tutors aid students in practicing dialectic and rhetorical skills in 6 challenging subjects. Check out the website to determine what program you’re interested in. You contact the tutor listed for your child’s level. The group meets Wednesdays on Boyers Road in Harrisonburg.

Penny, the best person to talk to is Teresa Patton. She is the interim headmaster this year at Redeemer Classical School. She has also taught Latin to homeschoolers and would probably be able to answer any questions you might have on the subject. Her e-mail is tpatton@redeemerclassical.org.
