I have been so busy over the last few months that I haven’t had time to announce some exciting news!
Yours truly, Diane Lockman, is now a regular contributor to one of the most popular homeschooling magazines:
Last autumn Mary Pride, Homeschool World editor and author of the three-volume homeschooling series entitled The Big Book of Home Learning, invited me to become her classical method columnist. My first article appeared in Practical Homeschooling issue # 91 in which I introduced the idea of an authentic classical home education with a particular emphasis on mastering the three skills of the classical trivium.
In the most recent issue, PH # 92, I answer the burning question for those of you with high school age kids: once you’ve taught the trivium, what next? For those of you who are patiently waiting for the sequel to Trivium Mastery, my most recent PH article covers (1) the Christian Paideia as Jesus modeled it in one-on-one teaching with His disciples, (2) the Western Canon as it illustrates the cumulative influence of past classics upon future classics, and (3) customization of your high school homeschool curriculum to meet the needs of your family and the needs of college admissions officers.
The subscription price for Practical Homeschooling magazine is quite reasonable, and Mary Pride will include a bonus brochure in which she shares her own success stories for graduating nine kids from the Pride home school. Hope you enjoy!
