Classical Conversations is perhaps best known for its nation-wide network of communities to help parents provide their children with a Christian classical education. Begun in 1997 with 11 students, it has grown to over 36,000 students in 35 states, 5 countries and 3 continents. The organization has recently published a new handwriting series called PreScripts. The four spiral bound books in the set combine instruction in cursive writing, copywork from the Bible and history lessons, and art lessons. Each consumable book stands alone so your student may jump in wherever you you feel they are ready and proceed at their own pace.
