Welcome! 4Real is a volunteer ministry providing family-to-family support for Catholic parent educators and friends who emphasize Living Books as they design or adapt curriculum to meet their family needs. This message board is moderated by Catholic home educating mothers who value a respectful and courteous online haven, strive to choose the choicest part of educational opportunities, hold fast to what is good, share a loosely defined educational philosophy, and enjoy its related methods. Many members identify with a similar philosophy and use similar methods while all members have ideas, methods, materials, and experiences to share. If you identify with and enjoy a similar approach to home education, may this board be only an encouragement as you fulfill your vocation while learning in the heart of the home. If you are new to home education, designing curriculum, or the Catholic faith, a special welcome!

The Year of St. Paul
"I, Paul, am already being poured out like a libation, and the time of my departure is at hand. I have competed well; I have finished the race; I have kept the faith. From now on the crown of righteousness awaits me, which the Lord, the just judge, will award to me on that day, and not only me, but all who have longed for his appearance." 2 Timothy 4: 6-8
