Memoria Press is a family-run publishing company that produces simple and easy-to-use classical Christian education materials for home and private schools. It was founded by Cheryl Lowe in 1994 to help promote and transmit the classical heritage of the Christian West through an emphasis on the liberal arts and the great works of the Western tradition. Memoria Press is currently developing a K-12 classical curriculum at Highlands Latin School in Louisville, Kentucky, where its popular Latin, logic, and classical studies courses are developed and field-tested.
Over the last few years, Memoria Press has stepped up production of subjects beyond their Latin & logic, reprinting old history books, developing a classical writing program, an excellent literature & poetry curriculum and several small and unique science courses. In 2014, they are also adding Greek as they have acquired the rights to Elementary Greek.
Memoria Press’ educational philosophy can be best described as classical Christian education. Classical Christian education is the cultivation of wisdom and virtue through meditation on the Good, the True, and the Beautiful. This is accomplished in two ways: first, through training in the liberal arts; and secondly, through a familiarity with the great books and the great thinkers of the Western tradition.
Memoria Press products are characterized by three things: simplicity, quality, and affordability. They are designed to be accessible to homeschool families who have no familiarity with the subject being taught. This makes them not only ideal for homeschool parents and their children who may be getting their first introduction to a subject, but also for experienced teachers in the classroom who appreciate the ease of use and comprehensiveness of their presentation.
