About Catholic Schoolhouse Co-op Franklin, Chapter

Empowering families to share Catholic Culture. At Catholic Schoolhouse we bring families together, allowing them to share and experience immersion in a loving Catholic Community– a community that strives to grow in virtue and holiness. Together we encounter the true, good, and beautiful while forming tomorrow’s Catholic adults to be light in the world. Catholic Schoolhouse was founded in 2007 to enhance education in the grammar stage by providing classical memory work for the Catholic homeschool. Going beyond simple memory work, the developers enlisted experts in all areas of study and a wide variety of resources, Catholic and secular, homeschool and non-homeschool to determine what information is typically encountered during the elementary school years (K-8). Topics are introduced over a three-year cycle, with one year each focused on American history, ancient history through Middle Ages, and Renaissance through modern world history, respectively. Over the years, CSH has expanded its programs to include Pre-Grammar for our youngest scholars, and Dialectic and Rhetoric (Upper Level) to serve homeschool scholars through the high school years. Pre-Grammar introduces children to the truth, goodness, and beauty of our Catholic faith and the world around us, while encouraging growth in virtue. In the Upper Level programs, scholars learn to think well, speak well, and write well while growing in understanding of our faith, and the ability to share and defend it. Catholic Schoolhouse, Inc. is a 501(c)(3), all-volunteer organization. CSH is a flexible program that emphasizes family unity throughout all its programs. We strive to grow in virtue together as we live our Catholic faith in community. We have about 90 affiliated chapters across the United States, ranging from six to forty families each, and new chapters opening every year. In 2022-23, CSH serves 1,555 registered families, a total of 4,910 scholars.
