What is Classically Catholic Memory (CCM)?
From the Alpha Year Teacher Manual (2011): Classically Catholic Memory is a four-year Catholic memory work program, classical in nature, that guides parents and children in mastering challenging and inspiring material in eight subjects: Religion, Latin, History, Science, Math, Timeline, Geography, and Great Words (poetry, historical documents, and speeches). CCM can be used in conjunction with any homeschool curriculum parents are already using, and it does not replace any subject already being taught by a homeschooling parent. It is a supplementary memory work program that provides basic, factual material to memorize in various subjects.

What is CCM testing?
Testing is optional. Many CCM users have found it very helpful for some students to be “tested” on each week’s memory work. Testing can help hold a student accountable and motivate them to get their memory
work done well. In testing, the students are asked to recite aloud all 8 subjects of memory work for the mom testing them.

A student can earn a star sticker for that week’s memory work, if they are able to completely recite from memory. The stars are recorded on a chart so the children can see their success and progress each week!
