Parent teacher event Tue. Jan. 14, 2019
December 31, 2019
Tuesday, January 14 will be a day of engagement and support for parents. This event was added to the schedule so that parents can find out what is coming their students’ way for the semester, and how they can best be aware to help.

- What do parents need to know to best help their students in spring semester?
- That is the goal and filter for topics on the schedule for Jan. 14
- The gathering is optional for parents, since the event was not on the schedule in advance, but strongly recommended.
- The day’s schedule is defined by grade levels, so parents of multiples may have an easier time attending, and so that time commitments for all involved are limited..
- At the heart and middle of the day, we will hold an hour of community prayer.
- This was an excellent suggestion by Ali Salmon. So often, community members suggest more prayer, but the schedule gets in the way of this desire. This is an intentional step and, regardless of numbers, we are excited to meet and pray.
- A light, soup lunch will be offered for a fellowship meal. Please RSVP to mailbox@LPA-SC.com with a number, so lunch arrangements can be made.
Jan. Classical Conf.
December 21, 2017
Special classical education event to encourage and inform parents and teachers

WHAT A two day classical education conference with individual sessions
Click here for a schedule and list of topics and more info
Session topics were specifically chosen to be informative and encouraging to help parents and instructors to better understand and appreciate classical education, its purposes and benefits, and its methods. LPA was able to influence several topics.
Typically, when this caliber of speakers and sessions are included in the major summer classical and home school conferences, the attendance fees are in the hundreds, but our shared hosting opportunity means the costs are affordable, and LPA will cover the fees for its parents and teachers from its training budget.
WHEN Thursday and Friday, January 04 and 05 (see schedule)
Thursday is 8:00 a.m. to 3:15, with an evening Q&A panel event
Friday is 8:15 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.
WHERE Providence Classical School is physically hosting the event at Eastside Baptist
318 North Jones Avenue, Rock Hill SC 29730
WHY The better we understand the legacy, opportunities, and deep benefits of classical education, the more we can pass these qualities on to our children and the next generation. Since most of us were not educated by classical Christian methods and content, we have to be diligent to be learning and appreciating. Educators and parents frequently talk about wanting students to be “life long learners.” This type of adult learning opportunity is a chance for us to model for students.
