One Subscription, Endless Possibilities

When families first hear about Britannia Classical Institute, they sometimes assume they must follow the entire curriculum exactly as it is presented.

The reality is much simpler.

Our aim is to provide a complete British Catholic classical curriculum in one place so that parents do not have to spend time searching for resources, comparing curricula, or trying to piece together an education from multiple providers. We have done that work for you.

However, that does not mean you are required to use every subject.

Perhaps your family already follows a mathematics programme that you enjoy. Perhaps you have a preferred handwriting course or a science curriculum that has served your children well. There is absolutely no requirement to replace these. Britannia Classical Institute is designed to support your homeschooling, not dictate it.

You are free to use as much or as little of the curriculum as you wish.

Some families may choose to follow the entire programme from beginning to end. Others may simply wish to use our Catechism course to ensure their children receive a systematic formation in the Catholic Faith. Some may want their children to gain a thorough knowledge of Sacred Scripture through our Salvation History course. Others may wish to introduce Latin and Ancient Greek, subjects that are increasingly difficult to find in schools. Some may simply value a chronological study of history taught from a Christian perspective.

The choice is entirely yours.

In fact, the curriculum is not only suitable for homeschooling families. Many parents whose children attend school are looking for ways to enrich their education at home. Perhaps they feel their child would benefit from a stronger grounding in the Catholic faith, a deeper knowledge of British history, exposure to the classical languages, or the study of great literature. Britannia Classical Institute provides an affordable way to supplement a child's education without requiring families to commit to an entirely new programme.

One of the greatest strengths of Britannia Classical Institute is its value.

For just £7.50 per month, per student, you receive access to the entire curriculum. There are no individual course fees and no need to decide which subjects you can afford this year. Every current course is included, and as new courses are developed, they are added to your subscription at no additional cost.

This makes the programme exceptional value. Many online providers charge a similar amount, or considerably more, for access to a single subject. At Britannia Classical Institute, the whole curriculum is available for one affordable monthly subscription.

We have chosen this approach because we want to remove as many barriers to education as possible. A faithful British Catholic classical education should not be a luxury available only to a few families. By combining carefully selected public domain books with modern online delivery, we are able to provide an academically rigorous curriculum at a price that is within reach of almost every household.

There is another important point to remember.

Education does not end when a child reaches the age of fourteen. Nor does it end when we become adults.

The love of learning is one of the defining characteristics of a classical education. Parents often discover that they enjoy studying history, Latin, Greek, Scripture, or mathematics alongside their children. Older siblings may wish to revisit subjects they never had the opportunity to study properly at school. Even after completing the primary years, families may continue to use the Institute simply because they enjoy learning together.

As Britannia Classical Institute continues to expand, older pupils and adults alike will be able to continue studying subjects such as history, Latin, Greek, Sacred Scripture, and the Classical Liberal Arts. We hope the Institute becomes not merely a curriculum for children, but a lifelong educational resource for the whole family.

Whether you use one subject or every subject, whether you homeschool full-time or simply enrich your child's education after school, Britannia Classical Institute exists to make an authentic British Catholic classical education affordable, accessible, and available to every family that desires it.
