Catholic Educator's Resource Center The purpose of The Catholic Educator's Resource Center is to identify existing resources and to develop new resources which effectively communicate the power and beauty of Catholic faith and culture and to make these resources readily available for Catholic educators. Such resources should reflect criteria of interpretation consistent with the Catholic faith and the social and moral teachings of the Church. The Catholic Educator's Resource Center provides an internet library of journal articles, essays, book excerpts, and other texts chosen for their objective, concise, and clear presentation of Catholic teachings, history, and culture. Any of these articles may be downloaded and copied for use in the classroom as supplementary reading materials for the students or used simply as background by the teacher wishing to be better informed. Home Schooling Help & Information A new homeschool program (Nursery - 12th grade), complete with four-year high school Great Books reading and Socratic on-line seminar components, inspired and Chaired by Max Weismann of the Center for the Study of the Great Ideas, is now available to the public. In addition to its homeschool program, The Great Books Academy also has a charter school program to help carry the great books back-to-the-classics educational reform movement into the 21st century. The philosophy behind The Great Books Academy is illuminated in the 60-page, four color, inaugural Summer 2000 issue of Classical Homeschooling magazine which is off the press and ready to be delivered to your door. This first issue, which is dedicated to Dr. Mortimer J. Adler, chronicles the revival of the return-to-the-classics great books educational reform movement in an entirely new arena for it: the burgeoning homeschooling movement. This "Homeschool Renaissance", like the Renaissance before, signals a rebirth of classical wisdom but, having developed from a grassroots educational reform movement, is free to develop outside of the bureaucratic barriers and ingrained resistance to genuine reform found in the educational establishment, both public and private.
Designed for the Home School Family, St. Thomas Aquinas Academy offers a program designed specifically for the home schooling family by veteran home schoolers who know what home education is all about. The great eras of Western Civilization--Greek, Roman, Old World, New World--are studied, one per year per family, in Grades 4 - 12. Religion, classic literature and primary sources are central to the high school study plan. St. Thomas Aquinas Academy is registered with the State of California as a religious, non-church affiliated private school. We have designed a program for home schooling families that aids parents with the Catholic formation and education of their children. We strive to see that our member students throughout the U.S. acquire the necessary skills for learning and a love of learning. The parents are learning right along with their children, oftentimes receiving the education they should have received in the Catholic or public school they once attended. Our high schoolers are reading the great books. They read from the works of Herodotus, Thucydides, Plato, Livy, Plutarch, Virgil, Cicero, St. Agustine, St. Thomas, Dante, Milton, and others.
National Home Education Research Institute The mission of the National Home Education Research Institute is three-fold: (1) Produce high-quality statistics, research, and technical reports on home education; (2) Serve as a clearinghouse of research for home educators, researchers, and policy makers; (3) Educate the public concerning the findings of all research on home education.
