For Information: info@lcaminoreal.org
Catalog Type: Paper and Online

A beautiful (and appropriate touch) that alerts readers that this in indeed a Catholic homeschooling catalog company that is well aware of (and promotes) the Catholic Church's teachings on education, El Camino's website quotes Pope Leo XIII's encyclical letter Militantis Ecclesia: ""It is necessary not only that religious instruction be given to the young at certain fixed times, but also that every other subject taught be permeated with Christian piety. If this is wanting ... little good can be expected from any kind of learning, and considerable harm will often be the consequence."

El Camino Real (the Royal Road) offers a large amount of Catholic (and some "neutral") materials especially for homeschoolers, including some beautiful Catholic stationery selections. In fact, El Camino specifically indicates Catholic items and invites their catalog readers to ask if there is any uncertainty about secular materials! They carry inventory from Lepanto Press, Tan Books, Neumann Press, Roman Catholic Books, and a few others. Their website includes curriculum list suggestions and other helpful information.

Their inventory does include a few nondenominational materials like the Learning Language Arts Through Literature series (which is on our Warning Flag list) and some Greenleaf books.
