Curriculum for our 7th Year Homeschooling - Totus Tuus Academy

We have begun "lucky" year #7 of homeschooling here at Totus Tuus Academy.

This year we have a 12th grade Senior, a 10th grader, a 6th grader....

AND...a 3rd grader!

We are enrolled with Mother of Divine Grace  Catholic, Classical Curriculum.  It is a program that offers a lot of services and I found them to be unique for the high school years as they offer call-in classes for more advanced courses. Above, my 2nd son is participating in an interactive Latin class with students from all over the country.

Last week we were just home from our shore vacation.  So we went to the beginning of the year homeschool Mass in our diocese and did some orientation days starting a subject or two. But today, is our official FULL day and we started by praying together and not surprisingly we had a great first day!

This is will be my last year homeschooling 4 students as my oldest will graduate this year.  He's applied to Franciscan University already and he is combining a challenging senior year, a travelling ice hockey team schedule and quite a number of job hours to boot. Becoming a man...

His 12th grade courses this year are :

Abeka's American Government and Economics
Anatomy & Physiology - Apologia's The Human Body: Fearfully and WonderfullyMade
