What we DO and DON’T use from MEMORIA PRESS — and WHY!

Published 2024-01-11
Today I’m sharing exactly what we do and don’t use from Memoria Press, how we use the materials, and how we’re able to classically homeschool in around 4 hours per day with ages 9-15!

Note: this video is not a judgement on those who use full cores! If you’re able to do so while maintaining balance in your family’s life, that is an awesome gift from God.

    I have all the catalogs from 2009. It was interesting that there was about a $20-$35 dollar increase per grade level complete package per year. I completely agree with your take. I use Memoria as the spine of my homeschooling, but don't restrict us to the program. I really appreciate the planning they have done and really needed someone else to do that work, so I do not want to cast a pall over Memoria. They do a good job.

    This was so helpful. I have left out several recommended subjects the last two years (4th-5th grade) and felt like I was cheating my child. This was a very eye-opening perspective. Thank you!

    Excellent advice. Thank you, from a new homeschooling mama of 3.

    Thanks for sharing ❤. It helped me to not get overwhelmed with MP.

    Great ideas! I had no knowledge of the classics until college. I loved the Greek mythology beginners course so much that I made Classical Studies my second major. Even in my hardest classics course, we were not expected to memorize verses. We dissected, studied, and discussed the Iliad. I plan to read and discuss these topics but not make it formal until my kid is in highschool.

    This was so very helpful! I also have about a 4 hour window for school each day-this was so freeing to hear that a 4 hour window is actually acceptable! Thank you so much!
