Everyday Educator

Transforming British Home Education with Classical Conversations


Listen Later

What if homeschooling could feel like discovering Narnia while everyone else is just playing hide and seek? In this inspiring episode of Everyday Educator, Lisa Bailey connects with Janine Bell, Country Coordinator for Classical Conversations in the United Kingdom, for a fascinating conversation about building classical Christian communities across the pond. Janine shares her family's pioneering journey as home educators in a country where most people still think homeschooling is illegal—and how God has used Classical Conversations to transform not just education, but entire family cultures.

What You'll Discover:

  • The surprising history of home education in the UK (and why most Brits thought it was against the law!)
  • How Classical Conversations is helping rebuild community and authentic conversation in a culture known for its "stiff upper lip"
  • The story of the UK's first CC graduate and the miraculous provision of classical Christian universities
  • Real barriers facing home educators in Britain—including pending legislation that could restrict parental freedom
  • Why British Christians struggle with the idea that homeschooling might be "hiding their light" (and Janine's powerful response)
  • How God is using "the new dog to teach the old dog" as America shares classical education with its British roots
  • Janine's transparency about her own doubts and discoveries—from making report cards at home to becoming the UK's country coordinator—offers hope to every parent who wonders if they're equipped for this calling. Her passion for seeing families discover the "Narnia" of classical community is absolutely contagious.
