Oxrose Academy has a choir!

The Schola Sanctae Caeciliae was founded this year by Mrs. Rebecca Beaucourt, M.M., and has had two enthusiastic meetings so far. Students and participants will learn to record and submit digital files of their individual vocal parts, which will then be combined to create a beautiful recording. Stay tuned for their first release. Mrs. Beaucourt also teaches Music Theory & Voice 1 at Oxrose Academy as part of the Fine Arts department. 
This first course in the theory sequence develops proficiency with the diatonic materials of music, including scales, intervals, chords, root-position harmonic progressions, and voice-leading. Learn more about our wonderful faculty & staff here!

“We become like that which we love.”

“If we love what is base, we become base; but if we love what is noble, we become noble.” ~ Fulton J. Sheen, Life Is Worth Living

We rejoice with the Church at the beatification of Bishop Fulton J. Sheen! Blessed Fulton Sheen modeled the use of technology and media for the good of souls. At Oxrose Academy, we continue to strive to follow these modern, saintly examples with our own unique set-up. The internet allows us to bring together families and staff from different time zones, yet we share a love for eternal truth and seek to disciple the students who enter our “halls.” Whether it’s discussing the great writings of Thomas Aquinas, doing the House challenges together, or gathering for an in-person meet-up, we strive to grow in our love for God. In cultivating love for God and His truth, beauty and goodness, we help students develop moral virtues and intellectual clarity that will serve them well for life and eternity. Let us pray for our students, families and staff for a fruitful fall semester! 

Ways to celebrate Fulton Sheen: 

  • 1. Make a Holy Hour in front of the Blessed Sacrament. Bishop Sheen was known for his daily Holy Hour. 
  • 2. Pray for vocations! 
  • 3. Read one of Bishop Sheen’s books 
  • 4. Watch Bishop Sheen’s shows 

October Oxrose Retreat

October Oxrose Retreat! Faculty, students and families strive to get together in person multiple times a year, and this year we have a retreat planned in Wisconsin during our autumn break! Beginning on the evening of October 5th, we will share several days of prayer, reflection, and fellowship. The weekend will end with a pilgrimage. Pray for families as they travel and for a time of rest, connection and spiritual renewal. 
     

Our Three Noble Houses

September at Oxrose brought our annual House Sorting! New students received membership into one of the three noble houses: Heronshaw, Kingfisher, or Chanticleer. Chanticleer holds the title as last year’s House Cup champions, but competition for this year’s Cup was fierce right out of the gate! Students competed in academic trivia games, fellowship-building challenges such as letter-writing to each other, and various spiritual growth challenges in an attempt to start the year strong. Our House System encourages friendship, leadership, healthy competition, team-building, character-building and old-fashioned fun. Learn more about our House System here. 

Also, if you want to show your House spirit, polos with House logos are available at Oxrose Press!

Learn About Our Art Courses

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! Learn more our about Fine Art studies here.      

Summer Training for Teachers

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.
