At Cor Jesu, students are given short lessons, enough to whet the appetite for their development but not browbeat them with excessive “practice,” and to encourage the habit of attention by offering a single reading, not endless repetition.

We utilize the thorough, well-planned K-12 curriculum developed by the CMEC, for a comprehensive education which we are able to follow cohesively whether at home or in school four days a week. We have chosen this curriculum not only for its excellent content, but also for its inclusion of a wide variety of teaching resources, from methodology and practical tips, to extended studies, to teacher and family community.
