About Us
We Value Classical and Gentle Learning
Rest in thee tries to implore the time honored and proven classical education philosophy. A classical education is one that holds Latin as foundational, and connects history and literature. We consider the Trivium when creating curriculum and try to focus in on the stages of learning, particularly the grammar, logic, and rhetoric stages, but also a pre-grammar level for our earliest learners. We believe in teaching the liberal arts of language, literature, history, philosophy, mathematics and at Rest in Thee our specialty is science and art.
We are Traditional
Rest in Thee is a traditional publishing company in that we believe in a traditional approach to learning through a classical education philosophy, and that we believe and hold with great importance the traditional teachings of the Catholic Church.
What is Whole Family Learning?
Teaching the faith can (and should!) be a family affair! The parents are a child’s primary catechist and teacher. In your domestic church you will pray together, celebrate the great feasts and Solemnities of the church together, and help each other become saints in heaven. Family prayer, the Catechism of the Catholic church, and Sacred Scripture make up the foundation of a Traditional Catholic home. Throughout your lives, you will pray (and play!) together to build a solid house on this foundation. All of our religious education resources will support your family while you learn the faith – together!
