How can we pursue both classical Catholic and modern studies?

In the Classical Liberal Arts Academy, we seek a true classical Catholic education, while simultaneously satisfying the requirements of modern education laws. As these are two separate streams of learning, they are best kept separate, with the modern requirements being completed in an efficient manner that does not crowd out the more important studies.

It must be understood that the modern K-12 grade level system never existed in world history before the public schools were created in the 1850s. The great flaw of most homeschools and private schools is that they imagine that they will follow the public school model which, in the end, only means one thing: they will neglect classical Catholic education and complete only the minimum modern standards (if they do that much). This is the plague of modern Catholic education.

Only in the Classical Liberal Arts Academy do we maintain our focus on classical Catholic studies while satisfying modern requirements. This method of education is different and requires some learning, but it will prove simpler and more effective in the long run.

Goal: Classical Catholic AND Modern Studies

In the Classical Liberal Arts Academy, we work to complete both classical Catholic and modern studies. This can only be done by (a) focusing on classical Catholic studies and (b) completing modern studies in the simplest and most efficient way possible. This can only be done in the Classical Liberal Arts Academy.
