The Cross in the West

ST. AUGUSTINES was founded to unite the best of the modern home school with the tradition of a Catholic liberal arts education. The goal of Catholic liberal arts education is to understand how everything humans can ever know fits together in a coherent image of Gods universe and how He wants us to live in it. Such learning must be lived and carried into the heart as well as the mind. Since love and knowledge grow together Literature and History are at the heart of our curriculum. These subjects detail mans greatest hopes and loves and failings when taught at any grade level. Beyond ideas are the great men and women whose lives change millions of others by their correspondence to grace. When we come to know mans history we are humbled and inspired by how God provided for our ancestors both by revelation and the natural law. We learn to admire their greatness even while we are cautioned by their errors for they tell us so much about our own time.
