Simply Classical Curriculum Testimonials

It is so, so good to see things slowly starting to click with First Start Reading in the Simply Classical Curriculum. Honestly, I can’t thank you enough. – Tamara

I have been so happy with my son’s (age 9) success this year! As long as they continue making levels, we will continue using the Simply Classical Curriculum. I feel like this is “his” curriculum. – Jessica T.

I love the Simply Classical Curriculum. It is wonderful to hear the program will continue through high school. My heart rests easy now, knowing that my two children will always have the educational guidance they need. This is such a blessing to me. Wonderful fine-motor, multi-sensory suggestions included. Thank you. – Martha

It is a WONDERFUL curriculum. – Jessica N.



Lots of repetition, great stories, good pace, and appropriate accommodations as my little guy (age 5) struggles with fine motor skills and is preverbal. – Zeppy

Before coming to the Simply Classical Curriculum basically all I had done with my special-needs child was reading and math. I’m thankful to be broadening my child’s exposure through Level 3 with American history, literature, composition, Bible, grammar, and cursive. The American history series really is a great selection of stories. – Kellie

When at six my daughter had no interest in learning and was still not willing to do anything I tried Simply Classical Curriculum. She now loves to learn. zoomed through A and B and is now on Level 2. We have had great success with the gentle approach of the Simply Classical Curriculum. This curriculum is derived from the inspiration of the book Simply Classical: A Beautiful Education for Any Child by Cheryl Swope, which I would recommend to anyone. Whether your child is diagnosed, different, or apparently average there is much wisdom in these pages. – Margaret

The language lessons are absolutely wonderful! His comprehension has soared! It’s the perfect pace for my son. He loves spelling and the stories we read. His expressive language is greatly improving! My son sits at the table each morning to wait to get started! It’s a wonderful sight. Thank you for everything. Just everything! – Nubia

So my son went from never even wanting to pick up a pencil or crayon to drawing! Huge improvements with this program. Moments like this let you step back and really see something amazing. – Aurora

I’m really glad I chose Level 1 of the Simply Classical Curriculum. I’ve seen a growth and confidence in him this year that I’ve never seen before. Something just clicked with this curriculum and I’m so glad we found it! – Erin

I am using Book One of Simply Classical’s Myself & Others: Lessons for Social Understanding, Habits, and Manners with both of my boys with Fetal Alcohol Syndrome/FAE. Lessons are basic but very good: washing hands, taking care of your nose in private, being kind, having good table manners. Each week there’s a read-aloud that goes with the lesson. My boys LOVED Rikki Tikki Tavi. Thank you! – Lillian

I had not found anything else like the Simply Classical Curriculum in the homeschool market. I am the parent of a child with severe mental insufficiency and developmental delay. She is also visually impaired and has autistic tendencies. She is six years old who functions basically on a two-year-old level, but without as much cognitive reasoning skills. I just wanted to thank you for making this special needs homeschool journey a little less lonely. Someone finally gets it! Thank you.” – JB

Our son is 14. He has low-functioning autism, is non-verbal, has auditory processing disorder, muscle spasms, sensory integration disorder, and sleep disorder. Your book and curriculum have been an answer to prayer. – Elaine

The pre-writing skills are one of my favorite things about the special needs readiness curriculum!! I was thinking, ‘What? This can be FUN?’ Because we were not having fun before the Simply Classical Curriculum. – JA

Grateful for the excellent books we get to dive into with Memoria Press! We use Myself & Others Book One. I love that my autistic 5-year-old and his neurotypical brothers all learn so much from each week and their love of good books continues to grow! Thank you for putting together these Myself & Others sets. They are wonderful for everyone! – Jeannette

This is our family’s fourteenth year of homeschooling. Our fifth child has Down Syndrome and is twelve years old. We are so grateful to have found the Simply Classical Curriculum. Last year we did Simply Classical Level B and it helped our son become more acquainted with academic work, reciting and listening. This year with Level C we are so excited. Up until now I would piece together a mish-mash of materials and activities, which would vary drastically according to my energy levels and his tolerance. We have hope finally that our son can feel proud to join his siblings in school work that is his level and he is really working! Perhaps most importantly he will be able to grow in good habits of learning. We promote this program to anyone with children who have special needs. It is just wonderful to have the practical format for skills and goals along with lesson plans that are easy to follow and allow for adding other special learning tools and therapy. Thank you VERY much for helping many special needs students including our son! – VH

I’m loving it! It’s been a joy to do with my daughter. I appreciate the open and go of well crafted plans. – FA

My twins made more progress with Simply Classical Level One than in any other year with any other programs. – Jennifer

Tomorrow will mark the end of 6 weeks and the difference in my son is remarkable. Yes, we are still working through some of the big issues but life is much better. The suggestions for the daily schedule, the picture cards, ideas for managing his anger and a beautiful curriculum have been a much needed breath of fresh air. The Simply Classical Curriculum is a wonderful fit and it is so wonderful to see him thriving in exciting ways. – Heidi

My son has severe anxiety and autism and is doing Simply Classical 3. We have time for him to go to extra therapies that are based on his needs, vision therapy, OT, PT, counseling, speech therapy, horseback (hippotherapy). The curriculum from Memoria is so much richer than anything they get in public school, too that I feel that he is getting a more robust education even if he isn’t learning any number of things the public school are wasting time on these days. He’d likely be stuck in a self contained classroom due to his inability to cope with the larger environment (at least when he was younger). And those classrooms are notoriously bad at actually *teaching*. Especially for a child who has a high IQ. If he was spending every day in an environment that stressed him and caused him pain (like a noisy public school) then all of his at home time would be spent trying to recover and that’s not how I want to spend his childhood. I don’t believe he’d be where he is today if we had not homeschooled him. I strongly believe that homeschooling with Simply Classical is the single best option for an SPD/autism kid. – Miah

The Simply Classical Curriculum is the gentle approach to early learning we need right now. It complements my own educational preferences and offers an easy layout for my son’s day nurse and I to share. Thank you. – Kim

We love the way the Simply Classical Curriculum flows. It’s easy for teachers to understand to use in the classroom every day. We really liked the kinesthetic activities with the reading curriculum. – Erika (as head of a classical school)

My teen on the autism spectrum is benefiting from Myself & Others: Lessons in Social Understanding, Habits, and Manners. What I did not expect was that overhearing the lessons from Healthy, Happy, Habits in Myself & Others Book Three would benefit his older brother!
