MODG offers a broad range of programs to assist families academically. We offer parent support, one-on-one teacher services, online classes and support for special services students.
MODG has developed a new, gentle PreSchool program that can be completed over 1 or 2 years depending on the student's ability and interest. Enroll in our PreSchool program now at a discounted rate!
MODG has written and tested two new Latin programs Beginning Latin and Fundamentals of Latin Grammar series to teach Latin to younger students. They are rules based, presenting the basic rules and patterns that underlie all of Latin grammar in a simple and straightforward manner.
MODG can generally accept enrollments year round. We open enrollment for the upcoming school year each March.
MODG students and graduates are accepted into the top colleges in the country and are successful in a wide range of fields.
Books & Syllabi
MODG is now selling copies of our syllabi, as well as many of the essential and recommended supplemental texts used in our syllabi. Both enrolled and non-enrolled families can purchase these items from MODG's online bookstore: modgbooks.com. Enrolled families receive a discount on syllabi and books, but must log-in to their family account in order to get the discount.
Online Classes
Laura offers a series of parent classes on the different stages of formation. These classes are pre-recorded and available over the internet. They are open to enrolled families, free of charge, or to families who are not enrolled, for a small fee. In each of these courses Laura reviews the stages of formation (Primary for Kindergarten through 2nd grade, Grammatical for grades 3 – 5, Analytical for grades 6 -9, and Rhetorical for grades 10 – 12). Laura also goes over the methodological goals, the texts used, and how to implement the methodological and content goals for your child. These classes are available to non-enrolled families for $20/class or 2 for $35.
In addition, Laura will be offering live one-hour monthly classes, each one focused on a different stage of formation, demonstrating practical applications for implementing MODG methodology. By looking at case studies and discussing how to handle specific situations, parents will be able to see how the MODG model works. These classes are offered to all families and the cost is $20/class or 2 for $35.
Applicable handouts will be emailed to participants. These materials are copyrighted, so please do not copy them for others. Check back later this summer for more information.
