Original CLAA Petty School Videos are Back!

by

Jubilate Deo! I am happy to announce that over Thanksgiving weekend I had the opportunity to learn how I can save the original Petty School videos I had produced in 2008 and make them available again. All of the original Petty School lessons will be restored for Petty School Reading, Writing and Arithmetic courses. What Happened? In 2008, I produced three courses for pre-school aged children that introduced them to the ideas they would need to make a good start in the Classical Liberal Arts Academy. These courses were extremely popular, and were enjoyed by thousands of children. However, the … Continue

In Classical Music, we study the classic work of Boethius “On Music“.

Correspondence Studies

If you are a Catholic parent who would like to give your children a classical Catholic education but are not interested in having your children study online, you may be interested in correspondence studies in the Classical Liberal Arts Academy. This option is available to students enrolled in our Premium Student Plan. What are Correspondence Studies?

Try Live Chat Tutoring

This tutoring is often expensive ($25-80/hr) and inconvenient. The cost and inconvenience often makes it ineffective in the long run. Why Live Chat Tutoring? I have worked for over 20 years as a tutor, working with students after school … Continue
