Our History

Unsatisfied with the homeschooling curricula available in the 1990’s,  we began to research a variety of  educational methods and approaches, as well as educational goals. Again and again we were drawn back to the Great Books movement – the return to the classics – as the core element needing restoration and recommended by the leading lights for educational reform, including Mortimer J. Adler, former editor of Encyclopaedia Britannica and the Great Books of the Western World. Under the inspiration and guidance of Dr. Adler we introduced the Great Books movement to homeschoolers through the inception of the Angelicum Academy in 2000 A.D.
