3. Education the Founding Fathers’ Way
Mentors, classics, and narratives: the building blocks of our Founding Fathers’ education. With the age-segregated systems of today’s schools where children are placed on a “Conveyor Belt” and forcefully crammed information in an assembly line manner, students like George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and John Quincy Adams would not stand a chance. In this powerful session you will learn how to avoid the many pitfalls inherent with the Darwinian, grade-based approach and will regain the time-tested leadership model of education that is fully integrated with Christian homeschooling, both in purpose and application. Will your student be the next George Washington?

4. Study Like a Genius: Unlocking Your Brain
All learning is founded on one key—the ability to take in information and then remember it. Unfortunately, most students are never taught how to effectively learn.

Whether a parent or a student, in this interactive session, you will learn how to use study tools such as speed reading and memory techniques to exponentially increase your study potential! Discover practical ways to implement memory tools such as the “peg” system and mindmaps in academics, work, or everyday life.
