Memoria Press

What Memoria Press does

Memoria Press is a privately held classical Christian education publishing company headquartered in Louisville, Kentucky, that designs, produces, and sells an integrated K-12 classical curriculum spanning Preschool through Twelfth Grade. Its flagship offering, the Classical Core Curriculum, bundles all subject materials for a single school year — Latin, Greek, Christian Studies, Literature & Poetry, Logic & Rhetoric, Math, Science, Grammar, Phonics, Penmanship, and Modern Languages — into a grade-level package anchored by a spiral-bound daily Curriculum Manual. Supporting products include an Accelerated Classical Core Curriculum track (Grades 3-9), à la carte subject programs, individual lesson plans, standalone curriculum manuals, streaming courses (including archived Sodalitas Homeschool Conference videos back to 2015), the Memoria Academy online learning platform, and a companion mobile app. The company also operates the Memoria Press Podcast Network, The Classical Teacher magazine, the Simply Classical Journal, and the annual Memoria National Conference.

The business is anchored on a direct-to-consumer e-commerce storefront at memoriapress.com with publicly disclosed per-grade pricing (ranging from approximately $240 for the Preschool package to over $1,180 for the Tenth Grade package), supplemented by a dedicated Schools Division that conducts field sales, teacher training, and onboarding for brick-and-mortar classical Christian schools. Memoria Press distributes internationally through authorized book distributors in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom, and operates alongside closely affiliated entities — Memoria Academy, Highlands Latin School (its model school), Memoria College, and the Classical Latin School Association — that together form a broader classical Christian education ecosystem. The company claims over half a million homeschoolers and over 650 schools have used its curriculum, with reported end markets spanning homeschool families, classical Christian schools, special-needs learners, and international consumers.

Scale indicators5 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Direct peers

• Veritas Press: Veritas Press publishes a classical Christian homeschool curriculum (including the Veritas Scholars Academy online program) covering history, literature, Latin, Bible, math, and logic. It is the closest direct competitor to Memoria Press in the integrated classical-Christian homeschool curriculum category, serving the same families and often appearing in side-by-side homeschool-curriculum comparisons.
• Sonlight Curriculum: Sonlight is a literature-based Christian homeschool curriculum publisher offering full-year grade packages that bundle books, lesson plans, and instructor guides. It directly competes with Memoria Press for the Christian homeschool family purchasing integrated grade-level curriculum packages, but differentiates via a literature-rich, less Latin/classical emphasis.
• Seton Home Study School: Seton is a Catholic homeschool curriculum and accredited distance-learning school offering full-year grade-level lesson plans and materials. It competes with Memoria Press for homeschool families seeking a complete, faith-based, integrated curriculum package, differentiated primarily by Catholic (vs. Protestant classical-Christian) orientation.
• Apologia Educational Ministries: Apologia publishes creation-based Christian homeschool science, worldview, biblical, and Charlotte-Mason-aligned curricula, including the Notgrass History line. It sells to the same Christian homeschool demographic as Memoria Press and competes head-to-head in subjects like science, Bible, and history within full-year homeschool packages.
• Classical Conversations: Classical Conversations is a classical Christian homeschool community and curriculum provider operating through local co-ops and Challenge/Foundations programs using a classical trivium approach. It overlaps directly with Memoria Press in classical-Christian content, target customer (homeschool families), and community-driven learning model, though it leans more on community delivery and less on packaged curriculum.

Broad incumbents

• BJU Press: BJU Press (Bob Jones University Press) publishes a comprehensive Christian homeschool and Christian-school curriculum across all subjects and grades. It targets the same Christian homeschool and private-school buyers as Memoria Press but with a broader, evangelical curriculum rather than a classical-Latin/Great Books orientation, positioning it as a broad incumbent in Christian education publishing.
• Alpha Omega Publications: Alpha Omega Publications produces Christian homeschool curricula (LIFEPAC, Monarch, Switched-On Schoolhouse, Ignitia) across K-12 in print and digital formats. It addresses the same Christian homeschool and Christian-school customers as Memoria Press but with a broader, more workbook- and tech-driven catalog rather than a classical trivium.
• Abeka: Abeka is a large, established Christian K-12 curriculum publisher (part of Pensacola Christian College) selling video, print, and digital homeschool and Christian-school materials. While it serves the same Christian homeschool and private-school customers as Memoria Press, its pedagogy is more textbook/Abeka Academy-driven rather than classical, making it a broad incumbent rather than a direct classical rival.

Emerging players

• Canon Press: Canon Press publishes classical Christian books, curricula (including the Detective Laplace math series and Logos Press materials), and operates the Association of Classical Christian Schools (ACCS). It is a smaller, thematically aligned classical-Christian publisher and school association, comparable to Memoria Press's content-and-ecosystem play at a smaller scale.
• Scholé Academy: Scholé Academy is an online classical Christian learning community offering live, instructor-led classes across the classical liberal arts (Latin, logic, rhetoric, math, sciences, humanities). It is a direct comparator to Memoria Academy, serving the same classical-Christian homeschool audience with synchronous online instruction layered on top of curricula like Memoria Press.
