CLAA Weekly Parent Meeting — September 9, 2026
Mr. William C. Michael of the Classical Liberal Arts Academy discusses the rapid expansion of the curriculum and answers parents’ questions on homeschooling in their own circumstances.
Topics discussed:
- How new AI tools have accelerated course development — texts prepared and courses built in hours rather than months
- New courses: three levels each of English, Latin and Greek Grammar, plus Hebrew Grammar, Modern Arithmetic, English Composition and classical literature
- Classical Logic built on Aristotle’s Organon, with the commentaries of St. Albert the Great and St. Thomas Aquinas
- Why the Academy will remain on the Moodle Study Center
- Recorded lessons, personal feedback on written work, and the prospect of live classes in logic, Latin and Greek
- Homeschooling through frequent relocation
- Judging educational methods against your own family’s circumstances rather than importing school-based approaches
- Why educational fads come and go while classical education remains stable
- Concentrating on the oldest children through the transition from sixteen to twenty-one
- The fundamental duties of a parent — and taking comfort in meeting them
- Allowing teenagers to work without displacing their studies
- How different families approach Halloween and All Saints’ Eve
Parent meetings are held Wednesday evenings. Enrolled families are welcome to attend and bring questions.
