Great Books Program

Subject Spotlight: Great Books, Entering the Great Conversation. Our Great Books program connects students to works from the great authors of Catholic and Western Civilization, but our courses are much more than open-ended discussion! These courses are 3-in-1 classes that integrate Literature, Philosophy, and Theology.  Our teachers take an active role in exemplifying how a Christian engages with the great questions; They hold that there is truth and defend it! Courses are organized by historical period, progressing from antiquity to modernity, but arcing back to tradition to find the answers to the quandaries of today. Students learn to read, listen, speak, dispute, and relish the true, good, and beautiful things that our tradition has to offer. Read more about our Great Books program here and here.

Free Lessons for Lent

Greetings in Christ! Ash Wednesday on February 18th began our Lenten journey. The order of one of our patron Saints, St. Rose Venerini, had the mantra, Docere ut Salventur, “Educate to Save.” We study, read, discuss, play and work not simply to grow students’ intellects but to help them grow closer to Christ. We began Lent with a school break to enter the season focused on prayer. As school picks up again, and we ponder ways to keep our families focused, remember that one of the most powerful Lenten devotions families can do together is the Stations of the Cross on Fridays. Our Free Lessons for Lent on the Schola Rosa blog has a lesson for every Station to help your children better appreciate this devotion!

LIVE Chess Workshop

Course Description: Come join the game of kings! Chess is wonderful fun, but it also helps improve geometrical thinking, memory, imagination, and a strategic mindset.

We are very pleased to continue our partnership with Steven Bloom, an experienced player and deeply engaging instructor. This is a wonderful enrichment opportunity to learn (or improve at) the game of chess. It is a six-week program, meeting 1 hour each week, that incorporates strategy concepts, games, exercises, and weekly homework, as well as free opportunities for tournaments.

Meeting Time: Fridays 12:00-1:00 PM Central Time
