Classical Community Visits Riley’s Farm

Springs’ Pathfinder Student Center’s Classical Community of Riverside (CCoR) took a field trip to Riley’s Farm in Oak Glen, which offered a living history day experience in colonial America, reported Principal Shawn McManus. The trip complemented history studies occurring in the classroom, he said, and offered participants “the chance to deepen their understanding of colonial life and connect it to what they have been learning in class. It was a wonderful day of learning, exploration, and friendship.”

CCoR is serving 100 students in grades 5-8. Its unique hybrid model combines two days of engaging, teacher-led classroom instruction, Shawn shared, with three days of guided learning at home, creating a partnership between classroom teachers and home teachers. Rooted in the classical tradition, CCoR cultivates “a love of learning, strong academic foundations, critical thinking, and confident communication while fostering a supportive community of families.” CCoR welcomes new students. For information, email Michelle Sullivan at michelle.sullivan@springscs.org.
