Mother of Divine Grace School was founded in 1995 to provide parents with the information, resources, and support necessary to educate their children according to the classical tradition. Laura Berquist's book, Designing Your Own Classical Curriculum, had aroused the interest of thousands and she responded to their requests by developing a distance education program and offering home schooling consulting services. As with her book, the emphasis of the study program and the consulting services is to help parents to teach their children the tools of learning. Based in Ojai, CA, Mother of Divine Grace School serves over 6,300 students worldwide.
Mother of Divine Grace School offers a Catholic, classical approach to home schooling. It is a program that has been developed by trial and error. We understand the challenges that home-schoolers face and so we offer different levels of service. We want to meet the needs of each individual family, and we realize that these needs will vary from family to family. Our teachers, lesson plans, materials, standardized testing, assessments and consultants provide families with clear educational goals and the appropriate level of support, as well as needed structure and flexibility. These will lead to academic success.

I am a firm believer in the value of a classical education and this is provided by the MODG course progression....the curriculum has the students reading at a college level very early. The reading is also focused on reading for comprehension....The Math and Science requirements are focused first on a well rounded education and secondly preparing the student for college level work and critical thinking. Finally, the spiritual content allows the parent to shape their child's development as a believing Catholic. As a conscientious Catholic who understands their faith, the student is also a better citizen and responsible adult.
