For a 10th grader, 45 min per day would be more than enough. I think it is scheduled 4 days per week, and 30 minutes was usually enough for my daughter to complete the daily assignments, give or take....

Good evening!
I am the administrator for Vita Beata Homeschool Discussion Classes. We facilitate groups for MP students to meet together to discuss literature and Classical studies together.

We have filled many of the discussion classes for next year, but we need a few more students...

My daughter's Russian curriculum was grammar based, but the texts were chosen by her Russian tutor. They were all texts actually from Russia, meaning the kind of grammar instruction that the Russians use to teach their students grammar, like we teach English grammar to our students.

Having taught this this year, I wouldn't take off many points for this answer. The lectures did not address the political issues much, but rather spent most of the time on the allegorical meanings (I LOVE THE LECTURES!!) and it was also not gone into in depth in the Teacher guide notes for that lesson,...

Thank you! I have definitely enjoyed this class!
