Has anyone ever used Our Lady of Victory or heard anything about it? Our 13 year old has requested a more structured program (lesson plans, grading, etc.). We were looking into OLVS. Do you know of any pros/cons...etc.? We have tried Seton (with our oldest daughter) ~ it was overwhelming to say the least (it took her 1 1/2 years to complete her sophomore year)!
Thank you for your help! :) |

Hi sevenblessings. WELCOME! 
I don't have any feedback regarding the use of the full pre-packaged enrollment OLV program. I would encourage you to contact OLV for detailed information. I'm certain the folks there could give you some helpful feedback with regard to the implementation of their prepackaged program!
The program uses its publishing arm, Lepanto Press, to reprint many Catholic classics. I am using a few of their books as part of our self-designed curriculum. It is important to note that their curriculum and their books convey information about only the Latin Tridentine Mass.
Good luck finding information on the best fit for your family, sevenblessings!

I know someone who did use it and at the time they requird assignments handed in weekly for grading (stuff that would have been much easier for the parents to just do). It was a real burden to the family and way more trouble than Seton. It was taking forever to get done just from the mailing back and forth. I don't know how much has changed since then since this was when my college graduate was in high school.

Also, I am sorry to say that at this point I don't see having levels 5 and 6 ready anytime soon --if at all.
As I have encountered one obstacle after another when I try to work on it, it's clear to me that for now at least, Mater Amabilis will remain pre-K - 8. (Levels Prep - 4) |

Me too.
However, I do know about bigger projects and the time for working on them just not being there!!!!! I'll be eagerly awaiting when and if, Michele! |

I think I need to put a team together for the High School section --it was how we got the others done. If anyone thinks they might want to be part of the team (a solid understanding of CM's philosophy would really be helpful), please PM or e-mail me.

Yes, Leanne, my two boys, when they were 9 and 10 started using several of the classes and they LOVED them... that was several years ago. We used them for two years. We did Geography, History, and Writing. It was fun and they learned a lot.

Thank you for your reponse
Is it something that I can use here in Australia, With the time difference?
Is it podcasts or are the lessons live?
