Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

I am loving the Ambleside videos posted on this thread.. Has anyone used their curriculum? It is expensive ($4,000) for the year, but covers the whole family. I'm not sure if it is very Catholic, or what exactly you get for that money (not the books, I know), other than an advisory service.

I'd love any input about this curriculum.

No experience, but giving this a little "bump" as it is interesting (loved the videos)... $4K seems extreme for 30 hours of talking with a teacher, on top of the $$ to take their training. Especially when you can use Ambleside Online, Mater Amabilis, etc and join their yahoo groups for free!

That's just my opinion, of course, really, I'm just helping keep this post in the new posts section.

Yeah, I wondered what exactly I would get for that kind of money? A weekly schedule, but AO has that. A book list, but MA and AO have that. So I'm really just curious. I guess I never feel, however long I do something, that I am doing it "right". Silly, isn't it? But I keep thinking if I can see a "full" CM program all put together on a daily/weekly basis, THEN I'll know what to do (or whether what I am doing is "right") Kwim?
