EPISODE #65: Interview with Robert Bortins of Classical Conversations

Chief Executive Officer of Classical Conversations is a job that Robert Bortins was born into, literally. Dissatisfied with the education options she found as a new mom, Leigh Bortins decided first to homeschool her four sons, then develop her own curriculum with Robert, her oldest son, as her first pupil in 1997.

Robert earned a B.S. degree in Industrial Engineering from Clemson University in 2006. In 2011, after serving in the corporate sector, he returned to the family business to develop a marketing program for Classical Conversations and was appointed CEO in 2012.

In the years since Robert Bortins became CEO, the company has grown by 300 percent to become the world’s largest classical homeschooling organization, serving more than 125,000 students in 42 countries, and has been named a Certified Best Christian Workplace by BCWI for four years in a row.

Robert and his wife, April, live in North Carolina with their three children.
