Our faith is not taught alongside our curriculum.
Our faith is the framework for learning.
It is the lens through which our students see and discover.
CLASSICAL STUDIES
Classical Studies is the natural companion to Latin. In classical studies, students study Greek mythology and Greek and Roman history and literature every year, gradually deepening their knowledge and understanding. This long grounding prepares students to read the classics of Greek, Roman, and English literature, and to study and understand the modern world.

CHRISTIAN STUDIES
The Memoria Press Christian Studies program is designed to develop three things: Bible literacy, knowledge of church history, and a strong faith and Christian consciousness. To achieve this, your student will study Scripture in K-6, church history in grades 7-11, and Christian apologetics in grade 12. Christian Studies is an academic course equal in content and examinations to all other areas of the curriculum. Our beliefs are the Christian faith is true and that both reason and history support this belief. All time is dated from the birth of Jesus Christ, the central figure in human history. Our program helps students understand why this is true.

LATIN at Legacy
Memoria Press’ award-winning Latin programs are designed to teach your student to master the Latin grammar through an easy to use, step-by-step process that brings out the logical and systematic nature of this language, the mother tongue of Western civilization. In studying Latin, your student will gain an academic vocabulary, a mastery of English grammar, and will develop the critical thinking skills that come from the study of a complex, inflected grammar. A powerful mind-expander, Latin benefits students as it:
- Increases English vocabulary and enhances understanding of English grammar
- Teaches precision and analytical skills
- Provides a foundation for the study of other modern languages
- Exposes students to the terminology of science, law and theology
- Improves student performance on the verbal portion of ACTs/SATs
- Strengthens math skills
- Increases appreciation of Western civilization and its Greco-Roman roots.
