Catholic homeschooling parents undertake nothing short of heroic work when they choose to educate their children privately. Most are motivated by the fear of the Lord and the sense of accountability they feel for the care of their children's bodies--and souls. Finding study materials and help to succeed in this work is difficult and the costs of such can be impossible to bear. These are great challenges that parents should not need to bear. Fortunately, the Classical Liberal Arts Academy not only allows Catholic parents to provide their children with an accredited Catholic education at home, but allows them to introduce their children to the same studies that have been enjoyed by saints and wise men throughout history--the classical Catholic curriculum. Even better, the Classical Liberal Arts Academy offers these great studies to Catholics of all ages through a Student Plan that costs only $25 per month, and a maximum of $100 per month for the whole family!
