The Orthodox Christian Morning Time Curriculum revolves around reading the Lives of the Saints, has Orthodox Christian copy work, and was inspired by some of the general concepts found in the Charlotte Mason method and classical education, while allowing families to use this as an add-on to the homeschooling method of their choice.
 

The Orthodox Christian Morning Time Curriculum contains:

 

• A Saint per week to focus on (The Great Collection of Lives of the Saints by Chrysostomos Press is encouraged, but any source will do.)

• A short paragraph of memory sentences about the saint

• Catechism excerpts for memorization by St. Philaret of Moscow

• The Troparion and Kontakion of the Saint of the Week (links to sheets music, and audio files are available for most of these.)

• A Bible Memory Verse

• Daily copy work that corresponds to the poem, saint's live, and Bible verse

• Journal prompts for each week

• Thoughtful poetry, with a spiritual emphasis, for memory work

• A recommendation/checklist at the beginning of the curriculum to rotate between Arts/Crafts, Foreign Language, Art Study, and Journaling (assuming most families school for 4 days per week.)

​

Even if using the full curriculum is too much for your family at this point, doing either the memory work only, or copy work only, can still be a great addition to your homeschool!  My own family found it necessary to spend two weeks on every week of the curriculum due to extra-curricular activities.  ​
