Our Curriculum

“The mind feeds on ideas, and therefore children should have a generous curriculum.”

Charlotte Mason

At Veritas Christi, we believe that the mind needs food for nourishment just as the body does, and that its proper food is living ideas. Because of this, we have carefully selected curricula from some of the best sources in classical education that will spark the student’s imagination and encourage them to engage with great thoughts. Our primary source for curriculum is AmblesideOnline.

From their website: “AmblesideOnline is a free homeschool curriculum that uses Charlotte Mason’s classically-based principles to prepare children for a life of rich relationships with everything around them: God, humanity, and the natural world. AO’s detailed schedules, time-tested methods, and extensive teacher resources allow parents to focus effectively on the unique needs of each child.”
