Mater Dei Education supports classical homeschoolers in Ireland and beyond with dedicated personal support, learning resources, lesson plans, pre-recorded video lessons, and books. Our team provides tailored support to your family's learning needs as you grow in the role of primary educator to your children.
Our personalised lesson plans and learning resources support you and your children as, together, you journey in search of Truth, Goodness and Beauty. Students may take Cambridge International IGCSE examinations at the end of junior cycle, and the Irish Leaving Certificate at the end of senior cycle.
