| Oxrose Academy’s Well-Read Moms Book Club meetings will continue this coming school year with the theme: “The Year of the Woman.” Meet other Oxrose and Schola Rosa parents while enjoying discussions about quality books. Those interested are welcome to the meetings even if they don’t complete the reading! Meetings are every last Tuesday of the month. Email hostess Elizabeth Shahoian at literarypeak@gmail.com if you would like to join! We would love to see you there! |
| Shipments pause July 13-July 25 for the annual Oxrose Rendezvous. |
| Mark Your Calendars, Schola Rosa Moms! If you are enrolled with Schola Rosa for the ’26-’27 academic year, you will have the opportunity to meet with other parents using the curriculum each month. Mrs.Meghan Krueger is a long-time homeschooling mother who has been using Schola Rosa with her children. She is also the wife of Oxrose Academy’s Dean of Discipline. She has joyfully stepped forward to re-invigorate a former favorite in the Schola Rosa homeschooling community. Meetings will begin the First Tuesday of each month at 7pm Central. We begin in August so we can help with any questions as parents plan/ prepare! |
| Rendezvous 2026 coming soon! Teachers, staff and families are preparing for a wonderful week together in July of canoeing, theatre, ice cream, fiddle-playing, dancing and prayer at the official 2026 Oxrose Academy Rendezvous. Graduates will also be recognized in person! Preparations are fully underway. Pray for a refreshing, fruitful, safe and joyful time for all those traveling this summer! |
| Subject spotlight: Art! Like all subjects at Oxrose, art is not studied in isolation, but as part of the larger classical tradition. Artistic skills are important to many other areas of study, such as logic, science and history. Oxrose’s art program begins with drawing as the foundation. After mastering drawing fundamentals, they then move on to color theory and paint, including watercolor, acrylic, and oil. In a live course, students come together and work on their individual projects while the teacher moves among them offering help and comment, drawing the class’s attention to good elements, and teaching specific techniques. A progression of skills to master and mastery projects upon which to apply them give the course sequential structure. The year is culminated by a final project which brings together all of the skills learned in the year, followed by a virtual “Gallery Night” event where students show their work to parents and peers!

| Summer Training for Teachers: Oxrose Academy teachers continue professional development and training throughout the summer, including discussions on classical education and technology. Mr. Zachary Krueger’s talk, “Technology and Classical Education”, is now available on YouTube. We invite you to view it and get a glimpse of Oxrose Academy’s continued commitment to giving students the highest-quality classical, Catholic education we can offer. Teachers will also view and discuss: *“The Philosophy of Art and Beauty” by Dr. Daniel McInerny (Christendom College) *“Education at the Crossroads” by Dr. Kirwan (Christendom College) |
| We hope you are having a joyful summer. As we leave June behind, and prepare to celebrate the United States’s 250th anniversary, we have the opportunity to reflect on two great early Saints: St. Peter and St. Paul (Solemnity – June 29th). We rejoice in the good of our own culture and country while recognizing we are part of an eternal kingdom that will never fade. Our hope is in Christ, and His Church has the authority and graces to draw us nearer to Him. We are thankful for the consecration of the United States to the Sacred Heart of Jesus; let us continue to pray for our country and all nations.

| As we close out Mary’s month of May, we reflect on Mary’s Visitation to Elizabeth, when the very words that make up the Ave Maria were first uttered followed by Mary’s Magnificat. This is a beautiful feast day that reminds us of Mary’s charity toward her cousin, Elizabeth. She traveled to help her during her time of need, and God blessed Our Lady with the companionship of a dear cousin who instantly rejoiced in Mary’s profound news. May we enter summer with charity in our hearts, devotion to Our Lord and Lady, and encounter many opportunities for fellowship. Here are a few resources for reflecting on the Visitation with your family: The Visitation (Reflection for Children by Mary Reed Newland) Mary: “Woman of the Eucharist” Her Entire Life by Pope Benedict XVI 8 Simple Ways to Celebrate Sacred Time as a Family The Visitation: A Mutual Blessing (Includes Family Activities) |
