72% of homeschooling parents were dissatisfied with state school education.

We pull our kids out of state schools, but too often they’re still stuck doing the same things:

  • Sitting alone at the table

  • Grinding through worksheets

  • Struggling with lifeless textbooks

That's Why We Created The Institute For Classical Dialogue.

The Results Are Heartbreaking:

Homeschoolers are far less likely to go to College than their State School Peers.

We help you achieve what you wanted when you made the brave choice to homeschool.

We worry that our children aren’t practicing crucial social skills. 

Parents are getting burned out, juggling housework, their jobs, and full-time teaching.

 

We know something is wrong, and it doesn’t have to be this way.

Homeschooling was never meant to repeat the failures of the public system.

Our students love to learn. 

They can’t stop reading. 

They are college ready. 

They are prepared for an exciting career.

At the ICD, we bring back what education was always meant to be:

a conversation with the

greatest minds of history.

Through Great Books, Socratic seminars, and guided discussion, students learn not just to memorize,

they learn to think.

Research shows discussion-based learning improves critical thinking by 12 percentile points on average, with some programs seeing students leap by two grade levels in a single year.

This isn't busywork.

It's transformation.

Parents regain peace of mind, knowing their children aren’t stuck in another broken system.

Teens gain the skills colleges and careers demand:

- clear writing

- confident speaking

- the ability to reason through complex problems

Instead of being far less likely to attend college, ICD students are equipped with the transcripts, habits, and intellectual maturity to thrive wherever they go next.

Allegory of

the Cave

We will create a plan about how your young person can integrate the study of the classics into their educational track. 

In a world full of phone screens, we turn to a 2,000-year-old tale: prisoners chained in a cave, mistaking shadows on the wall for reality.
