Curriculum

Turris Eburnea Academy.  Students participate in weekly, in person classes on Monday, Wednesday and Friday mornings with full time teachers and tutoring on Thursdays, followed by time together as a community including lunch and electives.  Classes deliver in-person instruction as well as hands-on activities and experiments.  During the rest of the week, families follow our curriculum at home, under the direction of their parents and with the support of our teachers and staff.  Our curriculum and lesson plans have been developed by an experienced team that includes two trained teachers. Extensive research was done to compare across many other curricula and we will continue to revise and improve it.

Turris Eburnea Academy places special emphasis on preparation for the world as Catholics, able to uphold and defend our values and beliefs. We provide students with exposure to all possible paths in life, not just a 4 year college education. This includes: vocational discernment to the priesthood and religious life, trades and certifications, as well as the domestic vocations. Students will learn practical skills that they will be able to use for their whole lives.
