Create a Custom Scope and Sequence. Hi Elizabeth, thanks for the guide! Can I ask what turned you off of Seton initially? Great question, Abbie! I think I fell for this as a young homeschooling mom. One of the best ways to research your options is to talk to other homeschoolers and get their opinions.
Most homeschooling moms I know are happy to share their experiences. My caveat here is, make sure you know that no two homeschooling families are alike and what works for one may not work for another , even if it sounds ideal. Best of luck to you on your search for the Catholic homeschool program that will work best for you! I'm always here to answer any questions you might have, so don't hesitate to ask!

Catholic Homeschool Programs. Share 0. Pin 0. Things to Consider First. There are a couple of things you need to consider before you choose your homeschool program. How much time do you want to spend each day homeschooling?
Do you want to use workbooks or literature books or a combo? Would having lesson plans and scripts be helpful to you? Are you looking for counselors or advisors to help you? Do you want someone else to grade the work? Do you want to have your students take part in online classes? What is the learning style of your child? What will motivate you to get things done? Would you like to pick and choose everything for each of your kids? Lock in the savings now and use the grades for the next few years with your child.
Programs never not expire. Use them now or in the future. And all future editions of current grades will automatically be switched out for you. Never pay extra for new editions again. I am reminded, however, of a math workbook produced by the Communist Sandanistas in Nicaragua in the 's. Among the word problems were topics involving machine guns and hand grenades, to prepare the children for warfare.
The enemies of the Catholic Church understand the purpose of education to further their ideas among the next generation. The secular humanists promote their agenda in the all subject areas in the public schools and textbooks. We Catholics, as directed by our Church, must promote Jesus Christ in all subject areas. Each of Salve Regina's Catholic Home School Lesson Planners is a well-thought out method of keeping a written log - covering everything from the spiritual to the practical!
Salve Regina has designed three different planners. Two are weekly and one is daily. The planners are comb-bound with plastic protectors and include a small insert sheet with planning suggestions. Black and white traditional religious pictures grace the various pages. Each planner includes a page to write in the year's over-all plan and a page to list texts and supplements.
A beautiful Catholic report card, printed on heavy card stock, comes with each Weekly Planner; four report cards arrive with each Daily Planner as it is designed one to four students. The Weekly Lesson Planner I is intended for one student. The actual lesson plans pages are printed in a two-page weekly spread in side-by-side format.
The five remaining columns are headed by day of the week and a space for the Noon Angelus. Each column also includes 12 blank spaces for subjects. Michael - a nice touch for the busy parent. The main difference is that this one includes 12 predefined subjects in the left hand column and allows only one blank subject space. Our Catholic Home School Daily Lesson Planner has enough space to record lessons and grades for four students in one book. Next to these columns are narrow spaces for the names for Students 1 - 4 next to each subject, followed with one space each for the daily lesson plan in each subject.
Berquist Publisher : Ignatius Press Ages: Adult, though older children can easily refer to the suggested curricula outlines on their own Reviewer: Marianna Bartold. Of compelling interest is the foreword by Donna Steichen the author's mother. In her own way, Mrs. Steichen tells of the need to "Keep It Catholic" when she writes the following about early Catholic homeschooling efforts, "A few desperate Catholic parents first turned for help to the vigorous young evangelical homeschool programs already being developed by Protestants.
According to Sayers, as described by Berquist, "learning subjects in school is of very secondary importance. What matters is the method of learning. Dorothy Sayer's essay rightly focused on teaching children how to think but it seems she believed that this method is the goal of education.
While Sayers was correct in one respect - that of noting that the art of learning was a lost tool - it is imperative to note that a method is not a goal. Rather, a method is simply a tool that should be used in the actual"building" of the education.
Tools must be good and excellent, or they are of no help to us - but they are a means to an end, and not the end itself. Method, then, is the heart of Designing , and in this case it is given the name of "classical. A free man was understood to be one who could direct his own life and the common life of the community and live a life of intrinsic and specifically human value as opposed to the life of an animal or an instrument.
The seven liberals arts were the introduction to such an education. These arts comprised the "Trivium': grammar, rhetoric and logic, and the "Quadrivium': arithmetic, geometry, music, astronomy.
These arts are ordered to the disciplines of philosophy and theology. Such an education is devoted to what is intrinsically worth knowing, for a man and for a Christian, whatever his way of life may be. Designing also presents Sayers' division of learning stages, the first being the grammatical stage, the second being the dialectical or logical stage, and the last as the rhetorical.
These stages are simply "classical" descriptions for those phases which most children pass through intellectually - the taste, as it were, for repetitional phrases "eeny, meeny miny, mo" in the grammatical stage, the phase of learning to reason the early teen years when children exhibit argumentative tendencies, and finally, the student's "discovery that he needs to know more" with a "resulting interest in and capacity for acquiring information" the rhetorical stage, when a teen realizes there is much more to life than that with which he is familiar and is eager for discovery.
The suggested material text, reading and resource list for each grade is meant to correlate with the individual learning stage.
The book recommends other time-tested learning tools like the use of phonics to teach reading, the importance of memorization, oration, dictation and narration, a heavy emphasis on writing practice and skills, and the early introduction of Latin. The text book suggestions for grades K - 12 are, for the most part, very good and yet, as the author graciously accedes, they are "just that - suggestions. Many of the Mrs.
Berquist's suggestions are excellent and, certainly, her book is a great service to Catholic home educators.
