Whether online or in-person, our classes focus on respectful and virtuous interactions between our students without sacrificing integrity and logic.

Tech As A Tool

We learn to use technology as a tool, not as distraction or addiction, to search and test information, refine our thinking, and contribute meaningful ideas or creative expression.

My daughter took a debate class with Emmi McCabe at Loreto Learning and had a great experience. She learned how to research, how to evaluate sources, and how to accurately and articulately share that information.

About The Founder

Hi! My name is Emmi McCabe. After ten years in the traditional classroom, I founded Loreto Learning in 2021 to help young people engage in meaningful and respectful discourse while leveraging technology as a tool to refine thinking and deepen human connection.

“Emmi McCabe at Loreto Learning was an essential part of our homeschool experience. Truly, her talent for assessing my children’s potential and motivating them to complete projects I thought were beyond their ability makes her a rare gem among educators! Thank you for all your help, Emmi!”

Homeschool History Parent
“This class has been amazing! In addition to being extremely educational and fascinating, this class has given me the opportunity to meet with other students who share my interests and love of debate. I would highly recommend it for any students interested in debating who may not have had the opportunity to participate in debate. It is very accessible, and a lot of fun!”
Reva P.
American History Debate and Mock Trial Student
“This class has been a wonderful way for our kids to meet and discuss topics in an academic setting. As a homeschooling family we are always looking for opportunities to broaden our students’ horizons and allow them to meet and debate various ideas with others. That’s exactly what this class provided. It was very structured and organized and kept the kids on task while allowing them flexibility in separate breakout rooms to take discussions deeper.”
