Lantern Light School
Lantern Light School is a homeschool tutoring service offering classical Christian education in
literature, rhetoric, Latin, and science. The aim of Lantern Light School is to encourage
students to know and appreciate what is good, beautiful, and true.
We are proud to bring exceptional in-person classical education to rural Kansas previously only
available by remote online connection. Our multi-age classes give students the benefit of the
one-room-schoolhouse experience. Students have the opportunity to have a subject-matter
teacher and the encouragement of group learning while families retain their primacy as leaders
of their children’s overall education.

MEET OUR INSTRUCTOR:
Andrea Lowry received her education degree from Sterling College and is also a
recent graduate of Circe Institute’s Latin Tirocinium, a three-year Latin apprenticeship. Recent
teaching experiences include running a hybrid micro-school for students aged nine to fifteen in
Little Rock, Arkansas, and teaching junior high science in Hoxie Community Schools. She
counts her primary and most important teaching formation as those many years she
homeschooled her own six children.
Andrea lives near Hoxie, Kansas, with her husband, Ed, a small herd of goats, a growing flock
of chickens, and a cowdog who has no cows.
Writing & Rhetoric
Three levels of writing and rhetoric are offered this year. Beginning writing, writing I and writing II.
These classes include poetry, recitation, reading and essays. Writing I & II are both structured around "The Lost Tools of Writing" workbooks.
Latin
This is a conversational Latin language in Roman history and culture class. Songs will be sung, skits performed, models built, pronunciation practice, short stories read. We will learn fables, myths, and true stories of heroism and treachery that made the Roman Empire what it was.
Science
In the Fall, we will study the particular grasses that grow in our part of Kansas to help us better appreciate and understand our own place. As the weather cools down, we will do a study of beginning chemistry, and when the weather warms up in the spring, we will return once more to a study of birds that we see right here in western Kansas.
