Seton Magazine Catholic Homeschool Articles, Advice & Resources
Summary
Seton’s curriculum follows Pope Leo XIII’s instruction that the entire education system must be permeated with Christian piety.At Seton Home Study School, religious education is central to our curriculum from Pre-K through 12th grade. Our courses are comprehensive, faithfully grounded in the teachings of the Church, and enriched by the insights of the Second Vatican Council and the full tradition of Catholic doctrine.
Pope Leo XIII wrote in the 1897 encyclical Militantis Ecclesiae, The Church Militant, that Religion must not be taught to youth only during certain hours. But it must permeate the entire system of education with a sense of Christian piety. The whole Seton curriculum follows the pope’s teaching.
Sacramental Preparation Programs
We offer strong sacramental preparation programs. First Holy Communion preparation is found in our second-grade curriculum, using our own Religion 2 for Young Catholics (bearing both Nihil Obstat and Imprimatur). These are used alongside The New Saint Joseph First Communion Catechism.
Confirmation preparation is provided in seventh grade with Religion 7 for Young Catholics as the core text. It is supported by Bible History for Young Catholics: The New Testament and The New Saint Joseph Baltimore Catechism No. 2, all with ecclesiastical approval.
These trusted materials offer one of the best sacramental preparations available in the English-speaking world, faithfully passing on the riches of the Catholic Faith to the next generation.
