    Shaping Convictions in the Next Generation, with Tami Peterson

    How can students make wise choices when faced with tough decisions? When life offers multiple paths, how do they know which one to take? Do they have the personal convictions to guide them, regardless of the situation or consequences? Personal convictions reflect our deepest values and faith commitments. As we raise the next generation, it’s our responsibility to help them develop these deeply held beliefs. Especially as they approach high school, how can we prepare them to make sound decisions, both at home and in the classroom? Join us as we explore this important topic with expert Tami Peterson, founder of Life Architects Coaching on this important episode of BaseCamp Live.

    The Secret Sauce of Classroom Success, with Bill Stutzman

    Curriculum—it’s something most parents rarely think about, unless you’re involved in homeschooling or collaborative learning. Even then, you might follow a classical approach without much thought. But curriculum is the software that powers classroom learning, and for those of us who didn’t experience classical education, it can seem quite different from what we remember. Where did the traditional history and English classes go? What’s all this talk about an integrated curriculum? And most importantly, will this truly prepare our children for the challenges of the modern world? Join us as we explore these questions and more on today’s episode of BaseCamp Live!

    Inspiring Students to Take Real Ownership, with Grant Bickell and Evan Adams

    In today’s episode, we’re exploring a transformative concept championed by Keith McCurdy: the shift from raising children as consumers to nurturing them as contributors. In a world that often prioritizes “me first,” this mindset asks a different question: “How can I help?”But how does this philosophy play out in real life? The Classical School of Wichita put it to the test, and the results are inspiring. Their school culture has been transformed as students have taken ownership—not just of their learning, but of their entire community. From leading projects to supporting each other, these students have become active contributors.Join us as we delve into their journey with Classical School of Wichita teachers Grant Bickell and Evan Adams who share practical ways you can encourage your own children to become contributors, both at home and in school. This is an episode you won’t want to miss—right here on BCL!

    Measuring What Matters in School, with Soren Schwab

    Education is about more than college admissions and job prospects—it’s about the formation of the human soul and cultivating in our children a love for the true, the good, and the beautiful. Yet, we still need reliable ways to measure learning. If grades and test performance aren’t the focus, how do we realistically assess academic progress? As even colleges move away from traditional standardized tests, finding appropriate and reliable methods for evaluation is more important than ever. In this episode, we explore some of the best tools for measuring progress both in the classroom and at home with Soren Schwab, the VP of Partnerships at the Classic Learning Test.

    Exploring the Latest Parenting Trend: Gentle Parenting, with Keith McCurdy

    There is no shortage of opinions and ‘right ways’ when it comes to parenting, with many claiming a Biblical perspective. Navigating these varying views—from authoritarian to permissive—can be challenging. The good news is that Keith McCurdy is back to discuss several trending parenting styles, including the latest approach known as ‘gentle parenting.’ While this method is often presented as a grace-filled and easy way to parent, it can have unintended consequences. In this episode, we’ll explore proven best practices as we partner with homes and schools to raise the next generation.

    Raising a Good Young Man, with Franklin Norton

    Southern writer Flannery O’Connor once said, “A good man is hard to find,” and that statement seems more true today than ever. With increasing temptations and fewer strong role models, raising the next generation of good men has become one of our most important—and challenging—tasks. However, there is hope. Classical Christian schools provide a unique environment where boys can grow into the men we desperately need, despite stereotypes that suggest classical education might be too gentle. In these schools, boys are shaped into men of character, strength, and virtue. Join us as we address the modern crisis facing young men and explore how parents and educators can guide them on their journey to becoming truly good men. This is a conversation you won’t want to miss!
