Augustine Academy to Host Homeschool Program at Campion College
In 2025, Campion College will be home to the Foundations in the Classics Homeschool Program, an exciting new initiative for homeschoolers aged 13–17. This program, an initiative of Augustine Academy Director and Campion College alumnus Ben McCabe, provides students with the opportunity to explore Western Civilisation through literature, philosophy, and theology classes delivered on Campion College’s campus.
The program spans four 10-week terms, each focusing on a pivotal era in Western history: the Ancient, Medieval, Renaissance, and Modern worlds. Classes will take place one day per week and include engaging discussions of one-page extracts from key authors and texts.
Ben McCabe, Founder and Director of Augustine Academy, shared his enthusiasm for the program: “Classical education brings timeless ideas and enduring truths to life. This program offers young homeschoolers the opportunity to encounter great thinkers and authors in a meaningful and interactive way, equipping them for lifelong learning.”
Dr Paul Morrissey, President of Campion College, said: “We are excited to welcome the local homeschooling community to our campus and to see Ben McCabe bring his passion and expertise to this program. His enthusiasm for the classics and his commitment to education will undoubtedly inspire students to engage deeply with these timeless works.”
The first day of the program serves as a free trial, allowing students to experience the classes before committing. Payment is structured in $300 blocks for every five weeks, making the program accessible and flexible for families. Each term concludes with a certificate of completion, recognising students’ achievements.
Registrations for Term 1, focused on the Ancient world, are now open. Click here to learn more or contact Ben McCabe on 0450 729 077.
