They are as follows: Thursday, May 23: Workshop #1- 9:00 - 10:00 am: Rivendell Sanctuary Choosing a Higher Education How can you and your family choose a college option without lowering your standards of excellence? Are there options for college that will develop student's character as well as their minds? The solution is about more than "Christian" college. This workshop unpacks the concepts of what it means to be truly edcuated and gives participants tools for vetting and choosing a solid educational option. We do not need to lower our standards to receive a "higher education." Workshop #2- 10:10 - 11:10 am: CollegePlus - Bacherlor's Degree Customized to You Discover your purpose in life, create your degree plan, learn how to learn, earn credits quickly and efficiently while having the flexibility to work, travel, intern, and experience life, transfer your credits into a partner college, finish up your remaining classes online or onsite, and graduate with an accredited bachelor's degree. Final step? Launch into life with the credentials and skills to pursue your life calling. Workshop #3- 2:45 - 3:45 pm: You Have the Power- You Make the Choice- Total Abstinence Information- Just Say NO!! - WCTU- Women's Christian Temperance Union Workshop #4- 3:55 - 4:55 pm: Making Tough Subjects Easy—Teaching the FPE Way With the possible exception of Thomas Jefferson, there never has been a mind conversant with all manner of human achievement. In teaching our children, there will always be subjects and disciplines for which we need expert help. Are you struggling to teach Latin? Logic? Calculus? Advanced Sciences? History? Civics? FPE’s staff of experienced teachers can help, offering live, real-time, interactive lectures—not pre-recorded discs—in an easy to navigate virtual classroom. Years of teaching experience and numerous faculty members with the most advanced degrees in their fields equip us to partner with you as we teach, grade, and mentor your children. Rejecting all government funding and free from the pressure and spin of teachers’ unions, we offer an alternative to the politically correct dogma and doctrines of traditional government-monopolized public schools and their online spinoffs. We work with parents and on behalf of families, and do not seek to usurp the pivotal role of parents in their children’s education. Our curriculum unabashedly acknowledges our Creator, the God-given origins of science, and the role of faith in the founding of our nation. ALL of these workshops will be held downstairs in the BOARDROOM. NOTE: All of these presenters will be vendors at the conference all weekend long!!
