About ten years ago I started giving talks and writing articles about classical education. At first, people warned me not to do it. They said that my audiences wouldn't be interested. They said people, homeschooling mothers in particular, only wanted practical, day by day directions. Now, we all like practical day by day directions, but my experience, contrary to the predictions, is that mothers want to know the end of education, not just the means. The mothers I know and work with are philosophers; they think about the nature of reality and educational philosophy all the time. I'm glad, because this talk is going to be in that category.

In Spring 2016, 371 MODG students took the National Latin Exam. Of these students, 254 earned an award!  We are proud of all these students and would like to take the opportunity to recognize MODG Seniors who earned a Gold Medal, our eight students who earned perfect scores, and the students in Latin III exams who placed.

On Saturday, May 27th, we were thrilled to be able to celebrate the Class of 2017 with a Baccalaureate Mass and Graduation Ceremony!
