On the Journey with Christopherus: A Self-Study Course
by Donna Simmons
$350.00
Created for new Christopherus homeschoolers as well as for those needing renewal, this gentle and friendly self-study course will help parents deepen their relationship to homeschooling.
The course is self-directed and while there is specific guidance on how to proceed, each parent-teacher is enabled to study the course in whatever way suits his or her circumstances. It is not a series of lessons which take one on a pre-determined path: rather there is guidance throughout and occasional suggestions for the best way to proceed. But as this is about your journey as a self-directed learner, it is up to you to determine the exact path you take. This also means it is up to you how long it takes you to complete the Course. There is no checklist of goals attained (although the software we used actually provides a box for you to check when you have completed a component). Indeed, we suggest throughout that you might wish to return to a component a number of times over the years. It stands to reason then, that there is no time limit on access to the Course. It is yours, there to help you as you change and deepen your relationship to homeschooling and Waldorf education over the years.
As it is priced per person (per family) we respectfully ask that people wishing to share their Course with others contact the Christopherus Office to arrange to make a donation to help support our work.
The course consists of videos, audio talks and PDF documents. There are step by step instructions; pedagogical support; help with exploring various aspects of self-development; artistic and nature exercises; two study guides to important Waldorf texts; and much more.
We offer a ‘buddy system’ for those studying the Course who wish to work with others. You will access to this once you begin the course.
To get a feel for how the Course is structured:
Christopherus homeschool resources make what may seem impossible, very possible…and not only possible but enlivening and supportive for all involved. It is far more than a curriculum guide, it is also a training in the art of teaching and parenting.
