| St. Philomena Adjumentum |

| |
| |
| 770-338-0769 |
|
| Geographic Area Serving: Atlanta Area (Chamblee-Tucker), Georgia |
| Description: St. Philomena Adjumentum (SPA) is a cooperative venture of Catholic homeschooling families who have agreed to follow the same curriculum and share teaching expertise. We meet twice each week, on average, from September through June, to introduce and review course material, hold discussions and work on group projects, and especially to foster peer community among both students and mothers.
SPA is NOT a school. “Adjumentum” is the Latin word for “co-op,” and that is the extent of our aspiration. There is no central leadership; all families have an equal voice in decision-making, whether this regards scheduling, grading, long-range planning, or expanding. We are committed to decision by consensus.
Our shared expectations derive from the principle expressed in Gravissimum Educationis 3:
As it is the parents who have given life to their children, on them lies the gravest obligation of educating their family. They must therefore be recognized as being primarily and principally responsible for their education. The role of parents in education is of such importance that it is almost impossible to provide an adequate substitute.
SPA consists of 10-15 families, including children ranging from newborns to 12th grade. We follow the Mother of Divine Grace syllabi for all grade levels, allowing for some modification if necessary, again following the co-op model when instituting such changes. All mothers remain with the group throughout the SPA day, assigning themselves to a class or activity according to their interests and the group’s needs. From its inception we met in a private home but have now moved to a larger facility at Holy Cross Catholic Church in Tucker, Georgia. The day begins with Mass at 9:15, after which we separate into classes. We eat lunch and play together from 12:20-1:10, then close with a mothers’ “debriefing” at 3:40. Open and constant communication is our trademark.
The high school courses are taught by mothers who take responsibility for the overall structure of how the subject is taught and graded. The grade school students are grouped by age, grade level and subject and are moderated by mothers throughout the day, but the parent is responsible for all assessment.
|
| Requirements: We have adopted a simple uniform policy at SPA. All students wear white shirts and closed-toe shoes. The grade school girls wear navy skorts, skirts, jumpers or pants, and the grade school boys wear navy pants. The high school girls wear khaki pants or skirts (of sufficient length to touch the floor when kneeling), and the high school boys wear khaki pants.
|
| Benefits: Our goal is to assist and support one another as we grow daily in our vocation as Christian wives, mothers and teachers faithful to the Magisterium of the Church. The freedom of each family to follow Jesus Christ, in obedience to their Bishop, according to the specific spirituality and tradition they choose, is zealously protected.
We have found SPA to be an effective and joyful vehicle toward academic excellence, genuine friendship and apostolic witness. We believe we have truly found the best of both homeschool and Catholic school worlds.
