About Our Chapter

What

A classically influenced Pre-K through 12th-grade Catholic homeschool community for all ages, meeting one morning a week (Thursdays) for Memory Work, Art, Science, and Upper Level classes led by Catholic Schoolhouse trained parent-leaders.

Our 3-year history cycle gives unity across the classrooms and ages. In the 2024-25 school year, we learn Tour 2 with an Ancient History focus. Find our full scope and sequence here.

There is no statement of faith for members. Anyone is welcome to participate in our classes, but class leaders sign a statement of fidelity to represent the teachings of the Catholic Church.
