Legenda Classical Resources

Legenda Classical Resources supports and promotes Classical Education by nurturing and instructing students, parents, and teachers, encouraging them to pursue the true, good, and beautiful, and joining them in a lifetime love of learning.

Legenda is a Latin word meaning “things which should be read”. We as a society are losing the common knowledge we once shared, and by reading from our collective heritage we can recover some of what is being lost. It also means “those things which should be chosen” – we have only so much time, so we must choose wisely. Legenda Classical Resources is committed to sharing the works that have stood the test of time.

Legenda Tutorials Courses

Legenda Tutorials offers courses for students in middle school and high school. From an integrated Humanities course to an in-depth study of a particular author, I offer courses to help your student develop reading, writing, and thinking skills. As it is an integral part of Classical Education, I also offer Latin courses. For more details, visit the pages for grade levels and individual classes.

As interest in Classical Education has increased, so has the demand on parents and teachers, most of whom did not receive this education themselves. With years of experience in the Classical Education movement, I would love to provide support, information, and encouragement to homeschool parents and teachers. Reach out to me for curricular and pedagogical guidance for yourself or your staff.

Workshops and Discussion Groups

Legenda Classical Resources will be developing workshops for students, parents, and teachers, as well as book discussion groups for both students and adults. These will be opportunities to encounter a specific topic or book more deeply and to engage with the greatest thoughts and authors of the past. For more details and examples of opportunities in the works, see the workshop and seminars page.

Meet michelle ferguson

Hello, and welcome! My name is Michelle Ferguson, and I am the founder of Legenda Tutorials and Legenda Classical Resources. After graduating my four children from our classical home school, I began teaching classes for other homeschooled students, and Legenda Classical Resources is the cumulative result of the 27 years of teaching experience. I discovered the Classical Education movement in the late 1990s, and since then I have grown in knowledge and understanding of classical content and pedagogy. I am currently in the first year of a Fellow-in-training program with the Boethius Institute, an organization devoted to intensively training leaders in education in the seven liberal arts. I am passionate about learning and the pursuit of wisdom through contemplation of the True, the Good, and the Beautiful.

Statement of Faith

As it has been the expression of the church's belief for nearly two millennia, Legenda Tutorials subscribes in unity with our Fathers to the Nicene Creed:

I believe in one God, Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth, and of all things visible and invisible.

And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only-begotten Son of God, begotten of the Father before all ages; Light of Light, true God of true God, begotten, not created, of one essence with the Father through Whom all things were made. Who for us men and for our salvation came down from heaven and was incarnate of the Holy Spirit and the Virgin Mary and became man. He was crucified for us under Pontius Pilate, and suffered and was buried; And He rose on the third day, according to the Scriptures. He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father; And He will come again with glory to judge the living and dead. His kingdom shall have no end.

And in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the Creator of life, Who proceeds from the Father, Who together with the Father and the Son is worshipped and glorified, Who spoke through the prophets.

In one, holy, catholic, and apostolic Church.

I confess one baptism for the forgiveness of sins.

I look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the age to come.

Amen.
