An Authentic and Affordable British Catholic Classical Education
Choosing a homeschool curriculum is an important decision for any family. Parents naturally want an education that is academically rigorous, faithful to the Catholic tradition, well organised, and affordable. Too often, however, families discover that these qualities come at a significant financial cost. Annual subscriptions, expensive curriculum packages, multiple textbooks, and long-term contracts can place a considerable burden on the household budget.
At Britannia Classical Institute, we believe there is a better way.
Our mission is to provide an authentic British Catholic classical education that is accessible to as many families as possible. We believe that financial circumstances should never prevent parents from giving their children an excellent education rooted in the Catholic faith and the classical tradition.
For just £7.50 per month, per student, families receive access to our complete online homeschool programme. Every subject, lesson plan, reading schedule, assignment, quiz, and learning resource is carefully organised within our Moodle learning platform, providing a structured and comprehensive curriculum without the expense of purchasing numerous commercial programmes.
Just as importantly, there are no contracts and no long-term commitments. We do not believe families should be tied into lengthy subscription agreements. If your circumstances change, you are free to cancel your subscription at any time. There are no cancellation fees, no contractual obligations, and no complicated procedures—simply the freedom to use the programme for as long as it serves your family.
This flexibility reflects the very nature of homeschooling. Every family is different. Some study throughout the calendar year, while others prefer a more traditional school schedule. Some children progress quickly through lessons, while others benefit from taking additional time to master a subject. Our programme has been designed to support these differences rather than restrict them.
Because lessons are available online, families are free to study wherever and whenever it best suits them. Learning can take place at home, while travelling, during family visits, or anywhere with an internet connection. Parents decide the pace, the timetable, and the daily routine that works best for their household.
Keeping costs low has never meant lowering standards. On the contrary, Britannia Classical Institute is founded upon carefully selected educational classics that have stood the test of time. Rather than relying upon expensive modern textbooks that are continually replaced with new editions, we make extensive use of high-quality public domain works written by respected educators. These books remain among the finest educational resources ever produced and are freely available for families to read online or purchase in printed form if they wish.
By combining these timeless books with carefully prepared lesson plans, schemes of work, quizzes, assignments, and parent support, we are able to offer a complete educational programme at a fraction of the cost of many commercial homeschool providers.
We also believe that affordability should extend beyond the subscription itself. Parents should not be expected to purchase dozens of workbooks, teacher guides, and supplementary materials simply to begin teaching. Our programme has been intentionally designed to be straightforward and practical, enabling families to begin learning with minimal expense while still receiving a rich and carefully structured education.
Above all, Britannia Classical Institute exists to support parents in their God-given responsibility as the primary educators of their children. Our role is to provide the curriculum, the planning, and the educational structure so that parents can devote their time to teaching, encouraging, and learning alongside their children.
An authentic Catholic classical education should not be a luxury available only to a few. It should be within the reach of every family that desires it.
That is why Britannia Classical Institute offers a complete British Catholic classical homeschool programme for just £7.50 per month, per student—with no contracts, no long-term commitments, and the freedom to study in the way that best suits your family needs.
