About Us
Our Biblical World View
Statements of Faith
Classical Conversations has a shared Statement of Faith for all locations, along with a local Statement of Faith for each community. We encourage families to take time to review both to ensure they align with your family’s beliefs.
Our Weekly Schedule
We meet once a week on Tuesdays at Victory Baptist Church in Ozark, Missouri, where families gather in a supportive, Christ-centered environment for learning, community, and meaningful connection.
Nursery
Our nursery lovingly cares for our youngest children during the morning Foundations program. It is available for children under the age of four by September 30 and is staffed by two caring workers who provide a safe, nurturing environment. A small per-semester fee applies, with fundraising opportunities available to help support this ministry.
Foundations
Foundations meets on Tuesdays from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. and is a parent-participation program where families learn together. This is not a drop-off class, and parents are welcome to engage in their children’s learning. Families are invited to stay afterward for lunch and playtime. The program meets for 24 weeks total, with 12 weeks in the fall and 12 weeks in the spring.
Challenge
Challenge meets on Tuesdays from 9:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. and offers a rigorous, discussion-based program for older students. Classes meet for 30 weeks total, with 15 weeks in the fall and 15 weeks in the spring, encouraging students to think critically and communicate with confidence.
EPlay
E-Play is offered in the afternoon for children younger than nine by September 30 and provides a fun, supervised space filled with age-appropriate activities. This program allows younger children to enjoy a playful afternoon while older students participate in their classes.
Essentials
Essentials meets on Tuesdays from 1:00 to 3:00 p.m. and focuses on developing strong grammar and writing skills, with parents supporting students in the learning process. Classes follow the same 24-week schedule as Foundations, with 12 weeks in the fall and 12 weeks in the spring. Younger children may attend E-Play during the afternoon program.
Extras
Our community offers a variety of extras throughout the year, including family nights, field trips, Kid Entrepreneurs Day, and end-of-year celebrations that create meaningful connections beyond the classroom.
