Programs
Mother of Divine Grace School offers several programs to help families design and implement the curriculum that is most appropriate for their child by considering his learning style, his interests, and his needs, as well as the parent's teaching style, resources, and interests. We have a Teacher Review Program (our main program) and two supplemental programs: the Teacher Assisted/Directed Program, and the Special Services Program.
The Teacher Review Program is our main program. Families who enroll are paired with an Educational Consultant who will:
- Help them choose curricula appropriate to their own family's talents and needs.
- Help them learn how to apply the classical method.
- Evaluate particular student assignments, utilizing our rubrics and helping the parent implement those rubrics in the home.
- Conduct three formal consultations per year in which she will review each student's progress, suggest modifications, answer questions and provide support.
- Provide additional consultations if needed or desired (Note: additional fees may apply).
- Answer questions throughout the year via phone or e-mail.
For more information about this program please visit our Teacher Review Program page.
Families in our Teacher Review Program may also take advantage of our supplemental programs: the Teacher Assisted/Directed Program, the Learning Support Classes, and the Special Services Program.
The Teacher Assisted/Directed Program is a supplement to our main program. Students who sign up for courses in our Teacher Assisted/Directed Program receive additional support from one of our teachers. Students work one-on-one with a teacher who will:
- Discuss texts and assignments with the student by phone and/or e-mail.
- Explain problem concepts and provide tips on how to improve work.
- Set goals for the student based on his current stage of intellectual formation.
- Provide deadlines for the student (if requested by the parent or student).
- Review and grade all papers and selected additional assignments.

The Learning Support Classes are a supplement to our main program. Students who sign up for Learning Support classes participate in weekly (or in a few cases bi-weekly) classes conducted by one of our teachers via phone using the discussion method. Students particiate in a class with a teacher who will:
- Teach new concepts and review previous concepts
- Lead discussions among the students
- Challenge the students with pop quizzes or role playing assignments
- Provide structure and accountability
- Review and grade quizzes or papers (in most classes) and provide feedback on the quality of work

The Special Services Program is a supplement to our main program for students with special needs. Families who sign a student up in our Special Services Program are paired with a Special Services Consultant who will:
- Provide them with the same consultation services as in our Teacher Review Program.
- Adapt the curricula to the student's particular special needs.
- Provide additional consultations if needed or desired.
