Dear Angelicum Academy,
Thank you for choosing my 8th grade schedule as a sample for other Angelicum students to view! I hope the schedule I created is helpful and easy-to-follow. I have found that simply having a schedule (along with the lesson plans) is the motivational tool I need to stay on track. I found this particular schedule the best way for me to finish school on time each day while having a lot of free time. It is fun to create my own schedule and keep to it!
Note from the Angelicum: Michael's schedule is based on a five-day week, while our lesson plans aim at a four-day week. |

Dear Angelicum Academy,
I am somewhat relaxed with my daily schedule because I also work part-time. I move my days around as needed. I have found that having the schedule on my desk is very helpful for seeing what I need to do each week. Yes, sometimes I just focus on what needs to be finished each week and not each day. Like I said, I am relaxed about my schedule! :) Hope this helps! |

Hi there,
I am almost embarrassed to send you our schedule! It is not as organized as the ones you have posted. But I guess this is what you want – to hear from real moms doing the Angelicum curriculum! We do not keep hours with our daily work – we only look at the clock for our lunch break.
We start as soon as we can in the morning and take breaks as needed. We sometimes do not get to some of the lessons until after dinner. I have the schedule below in poster format on the wall of our homeschool room. The schedule below has worked well for our 3rd grader, 5th grader and 6th grader this past school year. Hope this helps some of your new parents!
