We were pretty certain God was calling us to homeschool, but I needed confirmation. I knew it was a God-sized task, and this tiny human was intimidated. Our family makeup at the time was three precious kiddos. My first son was five, and his brother was born a short fourteen months later. They had a baby sister who was one.<\/p>\n<p>As we assessed our school options, we agreed that homeschooling had always been on the table since my husband and I had previously met on the mission field. We spent our first two years of marriage serving in Fortaleza, Brazil. By the time our eldest son was ready for school, we were living in Texas, but we longed to be back in ministry overseas.<\/p>\n<p>The idea that school would be based in the home would bring a sense of stability no matter what transitions lay ahead and no matter where we lived. But as kindergarten was knocking on our door, I wanted to reconsider homeschooling and do what seemed like the easier option. After all, our son had gotten into the charter school we visited and loved.<\/p>\n<p>So, all was going well.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-11078 size-post lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/classicalconversations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/homeschoolers-brazil-math-900x1599.jpg\" alt=\"Children practicing math at home.\" width=\"900\" height=\"1599\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/classicalconversations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/homeschoolers-brazil-math-900x1599.jpg 900w, https:\/\/classicalconversations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/homeschoolers-brazil-math-140x249.jpg 140w, https:\/\/classicalconversations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/homeschoolers-brazil-math-500x888.jpg 500w, https:\/\/classicalconversations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/homeschoolers-brazil-math.jpg 1153w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/1599;\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>The Miracle: Feeding the Multitude<\/h3>\n<p>Except it wasn\u2019t! Neither my husband nor I felt at peace sending our son to school.<\/p>\n<p>I felt like Moses arguing with the Lord upon his call. I told the Lord I didn\u2019t have what it took. I wasn\u2019t a college-educated schoolteacher. I wasn\u2019t confident that my bachelor&#8217;s in social work would help much in the education of my children.<\/p>\n<p>How would my degree in social work help with high school chemistry and trigonometry?<\/p>\n<p>The Lord took me to His miracle in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.biblegateway.com\/passage\/?search=Matthew%2014&amp;version=KJV\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Matthew 14<\/a>, where He fed the 5,000.<\/p>\n<p>Jesus told the disciples not to send the crowd away but to feed them. The disciples responded with a convincing argument that the provision on hand wasn\u2019t sufficient for the problem. It was a simple supply\/demand issue.<\/p>\n<p>Jesus told the disciples to bring them to Him The miracle that follows is simply fantastic. The disciples brought the sparse resources they had, putting them in Jesus\u2019s hand, and He miraculously multiplied them. The result was abundance. The hungry were fed. They were satisfied. And there were <em>twelve <\/em>baskets of leftovers.<\/p>\n<p>In the coming years, I would see this miracle play out in the life of my family. I identified with the disciples&#8217; desperation to get those hungry people fed. I had my son&#8217;s big blue eyes looking at me, hungry to learn, and found myself echoing the sentiment of the disciples, \u201cI don\u2019t have the resources to school him.\u201d Yet, like the disciples, I didn\u2019t have the right resources to meet the need at hand.<\/p>\n<p>And the solution was the same: Bring your son, the Lord said. Bring your talents to Me.<\/p>\n<h2>The Journey Begins<\/h2>\n<p>We began homeschooling in the fall of 2014.<\/p>\n<p>The days were incredibly sweet. My firstborn sat ready and eager to learn. My second born, to my surprise, also happily joined and learned alongside his brother. Their baby sister would take her morning nap while we studied. I loved snuggling on the couch and experiencing classic stories together as I read aloud. Watching my son learn to read and fall in love with books felt like such a privilege. I got to be there for each breakthrough moment.<\/p>\n<p>The investment of my time and energy came back with rich blessings.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>The First Years<\/h3>\n<p>That first year, we used a literature-based curriculum. It was <a href=\"https:\/\/classicalconversations.com\/blog\/kindergarten-homeschool-curriculum\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a great choice for a kindergarten curriculum<\/a>. I was uncertain about the second year, as I would start kindergarten with my second son. There was also a new addition arriving in the fall of that year. Our fourth child would be born around the start of the school year.<\/p>\n<p>I was still a new homeschool mom. I was only confident in the fact that I had a lot to learn. Year two of homeschooling meant schooling two kiddos, having a two-year-old who brought lots of <em>color<\/em> to our days, <em>and<\/em> bringing a newborn into the mix.<\/p>\n<p>Needless to say, I was overwhelmed.<\/p>\n<p>It was my custom to attend a local homeschool conference each Spring. So there I was, in May 2015, at a homeschool conference, researching, seeking out options, and praying the Lord would continue to guide us.<\/p>\n<p>I had chosen my curriculum. We would remain with the literature-based curriculum we\u2019d used the first year. The books were at the booth, waiting for me to swipe my credit card.<\/p>\n<p>It was the end of the day. I was six months pregnant with my fourth baby and desperately needed a chair to sit in. I found my chair in a Classical Conversations breakout session.<\/p>\n<h3>Embracing Classical Conversations<\/h3>\n<p>And I was completely captivated by the things I heard.<\/p>\n<p>The vision of CC was to know God and Make Him known. The aim was that each subject would point back to God. The foundation was a biblical worldview. Each subject was examined through the lens of scripture.<\/p>\n<p><em>This<\/em> was my heartbeat. <em>This<\/em> was the goal of our home for our children.<\/p>\n<p>Was this the curriculum we needed to adopt for year two?<\/p>\n<p>After talking with my husband and attending an information meeting, we confirmed the decision to do Classical Conversations.<\/p>\n<p>We immediately fell in love.<\/p>\n<p>Both of my boys\u2014the first grader and kindergartener\u2014and I adored CC. The joy of a community day filled our cups to overflowing. My babies enjoyed the nursery. Doing life with other families with more experience provided insight and encouragement this new homeschool momma needed.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-11079 size-post lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/classicalconversations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/homeschool-brazil-music-theater-900x675.jpg\" alt=\"Homeschoolers dress up for a play.\" width=\"900\" height=\"675\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/classicalconversations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/homeschool-brazil-music-theater-900x675.jpg 900w, https:\/\/classicalconversations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/homeschool-brazil-music-theater-140x105.jpg 140w, https:\/\/classicalconversations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/homeschool-brazil-music-theater-500x375.jpg 500w, https:\/\/classicalconversations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/homeschool-brazil-music-theater-2000x1500.jpg 2000w, https:\/\/classicalconversations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/homeschool-brazil-music-theater.jpg 2048w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/675;\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Becoming a Tutor<\/h3>\n<p>A couple of years in, our Director approached us, asking me to consider being a Foundations Tutor. I was reluctant. I wasn\u2019t sure I could juggle all the demands.<\/p>\n<p>But I sensed the Lord\u2019s nudge again. Our community had a need, and perhaps I was called to help fill it. I attended Tutor training. \u00a0I found my inner Mary Poppins that year. Engaging little minds each week proved to be a great source of fun.<\/p>\n<p>What a privilege it was to join other families in helping nurture the love of learning.<\/p>\n<h2>\u201cIt\u2019s Bigger Than Your Family\u201d Comes to Fruition<\/h2>\n<p>In December 2018, I learned of Classical Conversations beginning in Brazil.<\/p>\n<p>Through a series of God-ordained events, I was invited to go down to Atibaia, Brazil\u2019s first Practicum, and give the first Foundations Tutor Training.<\/p>\n<p>The opportunity excited me. I am Brazilian. My family moved to the US when I was five years old, and my husband and I had already served in Brazil as missionaries with Campus Crusade for Christ. I have a huge heart for God\u2019s work in Brazil. I was sure the Lord was moving in that culture to further His Kingdom through education.<\/p>\n<p>My sweet husband agreed to hold down the fort with our four kids while I spent a few days with these new homeschooled families.<\/p>\n<h3>The First Practicum<\/h3>\n<p>The first Practicum in Brazil was an extremely emotional experience\u2014not just for me but for all families who participated. I heard testimony after testimony of mommas who were looking for education options for their kids and had come across CC online.<\/p>\n<p>Though their stories varied and their residences spanned the entire country of Brazil, a common thread was interwoven in each account. They had dreamed of Classical Conversations for their children. Their dream was literally coming true.<\/p>\n<p>There is a moment from that Practicum that is etched in stone in my mind.<\/p>\n<p>I stood up to begin the training and froze in time before all those families. It was a big Practicum, and the Foundations training mirrored the size. That faint whisper of our call to homeschool had suddenly become a voice that was almost audible.<\/p>\n<p><em>It\u2019s bigger than your family<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>The Lord moved miraculously during that Practicum. These families gathered in Atibaia, Brazil, for three days, then scattered to all corners of the country to implement what they\u2019d learned. Classical Conversations communities sprang up all over Brazil.<\/p>\n<p>It was beautiful.<\/p>\n<p><a style=\"background-color: #041e42; color: #fbf6f2; font-family: Verdana; text-align: center; padding: 10px 20px; border-radius: 15px; display: block; margin: 0 auto; width: 75%;\" href=\"https:\/\/ccpracticum.com\/\">Classical Conversations Practicum<\/a><\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3>Kingdom Work in Brazil<\/h3>\n<p>As for me, I returned to the States with a burning desire to remain connected to what the Lord was doing through homeschooling\u2014and specifically through CC \u2014in Brazil. We\u2019d actually been praying for God to open doors for us to return to Brazil. We\u2019d asked Him to show us a ministry where we could serve and pursue His Kingdom in Brazil. That first Practicum was where the Lord began to reveal to us His plans for our return to Brazil.<\/p>\n<p>In 2019, my family and I had the privilege to move to Brazil.<\/p>\n<p>My husband was helping to launch a Christ-centered education movement called Christian Halls in the US and Brazil. This program partners with Christian Universities to provide high-quality, affordable, locally-tutored formation.<\/p>\n<p>In Brazil, it also includes Classical Conversations.<\/p>\n<p>It has been an immense privilege to watch the Lord\u2019s hand in furthering His Kingdom through education here in Brazil. We get to homeschool alongside families that are intentional, committed, and passionate. These families have to be incredibly brave as the current Brazilian government does not look favorably on homeschooling and is increasingly posing a threat to their call to homeschool. Getting to do life alongside these families has been sharpening and inspiring.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-11080 size-post lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/classicalconversations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/homeschoolers-brazil-900x364.jpg\" alt=\"Practicum in Brazil.\" width=\"900\" height=\"364\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/classicalconversations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/homeschoolers-brazil-900x364.jpg 900w, https:\/\/classicalconversations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/homeschoolers-brazil-140x57.jpg 140w, https:\/\/classicalconversations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/homeschoolers-brazil-500x202.jpg 500w, https:\/\/classicalconversations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/homeschoolers-brazil-2000x809.jpg 2000w, https:\/\/classicalconversations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/homeschoolers-brazil.jpg 2048w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/364;\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Classical Education and My Family<\/h2>\n<p>Since moving to Brazil, the Lord has gifted us with two more baby boys to shepherd.

Then we\u2019ve got a one-year-old and a three-year-old to add color and laughter to our days!<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/classicalconversations.com\/blog\/tools-of-learning-classical-education\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">process of classical education<\/a> is astonishingly rich.<\/p>\n<p>It has been so fun watching the seeds of Foundations and Essentials bloom and flourish in the lives of my two older sons. Now, having two Challenge students, I am able to deepen the studies with my Foundations and Essentials students with a more thorough understanding of how to better prepare them.<\/p>\n<p>In some ways, I feel as though my life is a classical cycle. I get two kids to the next level and circle back with more tools to apply to my middle two.
