Memoria Press

Memoria Press is a family-run publisher of classical Christian homeschool and school materials, with a curriculum spanning junior kindergarten through high school. It suits families seeking a structured, parent-guided education with a strong Christian and Latin emphasis; families wanting a secular or fully online curriculum should look elsewhere.

Overview

Its Classical Core Curriculum puts liberal arts and the cultural heritage of the Christian West at the center, with early attention to reading, writing, arithmetic and Latin. Materials cover subjects including literature, math, science, Christian studies, art and writing. That breadth can support a coherent education across years, but the religious and classical orientation is a defining commitment, not a neutral wrapper around general coursework.

Grade-level packages are built around a school year and include daily lesson plans in a curriculum manual. Assessments and parent guidance are part of the offering, and the hybrid format combines physical materials with digital resources. This structure gives parents a clear framework, while families who prefer to assemble their own sequence can use customizable digital manuals and individual lesson plans instead.

Key features

Structured lessons and learning materials

Kindergarten materials may include books, guides, digital downloads, instructional videos and lesson plans. The combination gives parents multiple ways to present a lesson, rather than relying on a single digital course. Families needing a tailored Kindergarten package can contact the company to discuss customization.

Christian studies and Latin

Bible literacy, church history and the development of Christian faith are explicit curriculum aims. Latin is treated as foundational to the classical approach. That makes the program a natural fit for families who want those elements integrated throughout their studies, and a poor match for those who do not.

Digital video and access

Streaming instructional videos are lifetime-access purchases tied to the buyer’s account. They require an internet connection, cannot be downloaded, and work in an up-to-date browser on computers, phones and tablets. Vimeo must be allowed through network filters or firewalls. Videos are for the original buyer’s personal use on their own devices and cannot be shared or redistributed.

New American Cursive StartWrite is a separate digital download for Windows only. Digital flashcards for some Christian Studies materials are used in the Memoria Press App. The company also operates an online academy with live classes, but its classes are a distinct offering from the curriculum materials.

Pricing

Memoria Press uses a paid model. Curriculum packages, customizable manuals, lesson plans and streaming videos are purchases, but the company does not publish a single price for the curriculum as a whole; academy tuition is custom pricing. Families should compare the cost of the specific grade-level materials they need before committing, particularly when planning across several school years.

The grade-level package is the more structured route, with year-long materials and daily lesson plans. Customizable digital manuals and individual lesson plans trade that packaged structure for flexibility. Streaming videos are a separate lifetime-access purchase, but lifetime access does not provide offline viewing or permission to share the videos.

Platforms

The curriculum is a hybrid of physical and digital materials, with offline access for its offline components. Streaming videos need internet access and can be viewed through current browsers on computers, phones and tablets. New American Cursive StartWrite is limited to Windows. The homeschool materials are presented for use across Android, iOS, macOS, web and Windows devices, though individual digital products have their own requirements.

Who it's for

Memoria Press is best suited to homeschool families, Christian schools and cottage schools that want a classical course of study, parent guidance and planned lessons. Its junior-kindergarten-to-high-school span may appeal to families looking for continuity across grade levels. It is less suitable for families seeking a secular curriculum, a free program, or a primarily self-directed online learning experience.

Pros and cons

• Broad grade coverage: The curriculum spans junior kindergarten through high school, making it possible to stay within one classical framework over many years.
• Concrete parent support: Daily lesson plans, assessments and parent guidance give families a defined structure for teaching.
• Customization options: Digital manuals and individual lessons let families adjust the curriculum rather than relying only on fixed packages.
• Strong ideological and subject emphasis: Christian studies and Latin are central, which is valuable for aligned families but limiting for others.
• Streaming is not offline: Video purchases require internet access, so they are less practical where connectivity is unreliable.
• Windows-only download: StartWrite does not suit families who need that software on other operating systems.

Verdict

Choose Memoria Press if you want a parent-guided, classical Christian curriculum with lesson plans and coverage from junior kindergarten through high school. Its strongest reason to buy is the combination of long-range structure and customization; its clearest reason to look elsewhere is that its Christian and Latin commitments, paid model and internet-dependent videos may not fit every family.
