*This site is under development, and while we are leaving it open to the public, is is not “public ready." It began as a place to easily share things with teachers at our cottage school and then with various education groups, and has grown from there. Our goal, God willing, is to complete as much as possible so that it can be more easily utilized (as a free resource for Orthodox families, schools, and parishes). How long this will take is unclear, though we are organizing a team to “soft launch” a Cycle 1 schedule for the fall of 2026. This will likely begin as full booklists and schedules for most subjects (as a “phase 1”). Then over time (phase 2, if you will), we would like to collaborate within the Orthodox community to develop more in-depth materials such as full lesson plans and lessons, accompanying resources, student and teacher materials, introductions to books and topics by Orthodox subject-matter experts, etc.
If you are interested in contributing to this project, please reach out at orthodoxformation@gmail.com or see here. Additionally, we would love to hear what resources would be most helpful to your families, communities, or parishes.

STATUS UPDATES:
Cycle 1, Form 1 is about 90% complete (a few Enrichment pieces remaining; extracurriculars & languages will come later)
Cycle 1, Forms 2-4 are around 30-40% complete (but gaining swift progress here at the end of July)
7/21/26: Forms 2-4 Literature, Tales, and much of Enrichment complete. Catechesis and History will be next.
Cycle 4 has many components available, but it is less organized and polished than Cycle 1 (I will go back once C1 is complete to formalize it further)
In addition to what's shared here and on the FB group, completed booklists and schedules will be in the form of detailed schedule spreadsheets (fancy PDFs will take more time)
For subjects that are not fully complete, reach out in our FB group here, and I can help give you an idea of books that will likely be scheduled
WAYS TO HELP AT THE MOMENT: Reach out if you'd like to work on Poetry Readers and recitation sheets, help procure MP3s for hymns & composers, work on Shakespeare recitation sheets, transcribe a few remaining folk songs, start on some Geography/History mapbooks, or help put together a Form 1 History Reader. And proofing any posted PDFs/spreadsheets/docs is always needed!
