A Homeschool Academy

"The Goal of Education Is to Learn to Love What We Ought to Love"

Our Mission

The Oratory Academy is dedicated to supporting homeschooling parents by offering classes twice weekly. Our mission is to encourage each other in the noble endeavor of educating our children in the classical tradition and of cultivating in them a love for all that is good, true, and beautiful.

"To be always seeking after the useful,” said Aristotle, “does not become free and exalted souls.”

Academics

Pre-K - 12th Grade Courses

Our curriculum is designed to provide a well-rounded education, covering all core subjects and a variety of other courses that encourage critical thinking and build character through inspiring a love of goodness and truth. 

Community

Supportive Environment

We strive to cultivate a community based on the humility, joy and charity of Jesus Christ Himself, admirably lived out by St. Philip Neri, our patron, wherein homeschooling families may encourage eachother in the noble endeavor of educating their children.

Enrichment

Extracurricular Activities

We offer courses aimed at cultivating an affinity for beauty: choir, poetry, art, and composer study.  Aware of the need for healthy activity, we offer ballet, wrestling, gymnastics, woodworking, and creative arts. The diversity awakens joy in the child as the whole person is addressed.

Building Character

Plutarch, Latin, and Theology
"How does the child fall in love with virtue? By being exposed to the right kind of stories, music and art, said Plato. Such education helps a child develop the right sort of likes and dislikes, and without those dispositions it won't matter how much formal training in ethics a youngster later receives..."

-Books that Build Character by William Kilpatrick & Gregory and Suzanne M. Wolfe
