Paideia Speaker Series: Parents as Partners

August 11, 2020 | 06:00 PM - 07:00 PM

Join Christi Wilson and Ellen Schuknecht to learn about Veritas Family Ministries, a department devoted to YOU, our parents. We deeply value our parents and purpose to support and equip you in this vital partnership between school and home. You will learn about core values and wise practices that nurture faith and learning. (This is our New Family Track. Please check the School Memo and Paideia webpage for the YouTube streaming link)

Paideia Speaker Series: Is Classical Education Really Ideal?

August 11, 2020 | 07:00 PM - 08:00 PM

Classical education is driven by the Ideal Type, and when the Ideal Type is ignored or lost, it is replaced by randomly chosen values from the Tao, such that students are confused and overwhelmed. If you'd like the previous sentence to make any sense to you, join AJ Hanenburg's talk, and he'll explain it... he says it's pretty easy! (This is our New Family Track. Please check the School Memo and Paideia webpage for the YouTube streaming link)

Paideia Speaker Series: Raising Unshakable Kids in a Shaking World

August 11, 2020 | 08:00 PM - 09:00 PM

We long to see our children grow unshakable in their faith and character before they leave our homes, but could we be missing the mark a bit with an unintended message about self-sufficiency? Do they grow strong in the Lord and in the strength of His might (Ephesians 6:10) or do they leave trusting more in their own knowledge and skills? In this session Ellen Schuknecht introduces a roadmap for parents, from the earliest grades through graduation, with tips and ideas on how to raise children with unshakable faith and trust in God Almighty. (This is our New Family Track. Please check the School Memo and Paideia webpage for the YouTube streaming link)

August 12, 2020 | 06:00 PM - 07:00 PM

While the school leads with academics, parents serve as the primary disciple-makers for their children, and the Family Ministry department is dedicated to supporting you in this role. In this session Christi and Ellen will share effective ways to reach and influence the hearts of your children and not merely address their outward behaviors. (This is our New Family Track. Please check the School Memo and Paideia webpage for the YouTube streaming link)

Paideia Speaker Series: Culture Changes for a Classical Home

August 12, 2020 | 07:00 PM - 08:00 PM

The fast-pace of American life rubs against much of what classical education seeks to accomplish. Troy Schuknecht will lead this session encouraging families to slow-down and to create margin in their lives for thought, discussion, and enjoyment of the learning experience. (This is our New Family Track. Please check the School Memo and Paideia webpage for the YouTube streaming link)

Paideia Speaker Series: Your Child's Greatest Needs & Unique Strenghts

August 12, 2020 | 08:00 PM - 09:00 PM

Each person is created with core needs, which if left unattended, result in insecurity and loneliness. Also, each individual is created with varying strengths and learning styles. When we understand how God created each of us uniquely to learn and process the world, we foster a healthy identity and motivation for growing and learning. During this session, Ellen provides valuable tips and suggested resources for understanding how to meet core needs and recognize how each of our children learn. (This is our New Family Track. Please check the School Memo and Paideia webpage for the YouTube streaming link)
