Power of an Hour... A Classical Education is an invaluable asset in our lives. Yet, too often this takes more time and resources than many mothers have available.
That is where the Power of an Hour Program comes in. In just an hour a day you can expose yourself, and family to the foundation of a Classical Education. Power of an Hour is a four year cycle provided in a weekly format. Daily focuses tie into a common weekly theme.
