Free Book for Parents & Teachers

While we provide the study materials and support they will need, it is important for parents to have a working understanding of what real classical Catholic education is. In 2009, Mr. Michael taught a course on the subject for Catholic parents, which was very popular. In 2020, Mr. Michael collected his lessons and made them available in a free book for Catholic parents and teachers, titled “Understanding Classical Catholic Education”. This book provides a clear explanation of what Catholic home education can — and should — look like.

Pray the Liturgy of the Hours

Restoring the classical Catholic curriculum is only one part of the challenge we face in the Catholic life. Cultivating a life of daily prayer is also necessary for the restoration of Catholic culture. Catholics are not left to themselves when it comes to prayer, but are called to join in the celebration of the Liturgy of the Hours — the official prayer of the Catholic Church.
