Grow in the spiritual life, together.

Narrow Way Commons is the community. Saint School is the courses. One login works on both.

Narrow Way Commons is a Catholic community that learns the faith and builds its own teaching material, then gives it away freely. The courses run on our sister site, Saint School; one login covers both.

You can browse the courses now. To take part in the community you apply, and a real person reads your application.

I want to learn.

Saint School is the course site. You can browse the catalogue now, without an account. Go to Saint School

I want to help build it.

Narrow Way Commons is the community that checks, improves and gives away the courses. Apply once; a person reads it. Apply to join · How it all fits · Start here · How the course system works

Where this has actually got to

This is an early project, and it would rather tell you that than have you find out. Three lists, kept apart on purpose:

Working today

  • both sites, and the single sign-in
  • the application form, with its agreements and consents
  • guilds as groups, with dashboards and queues
  • the six-depth course reader, with quizzes
  • the catalogue of courses
  • the three feedback doors and the suggestion board
  • the course-building and feedback guides
  • the editorial workflow
  • the nightly reset of the practice copies

Designed, partly wired

Real, but not finished. Please do not count on these yet.

  • course completion moving your level on the Commons
  • the Plan of Love, checkpoints and pacing
  • "suggest an edit" from a course page landing in the workflow here
  • audience-variant explanations — the structure exists, but no variants are written
  • levels and scoring inside the skill guilds

Not started

  • the real sites
  • one-to-one mentoring
  • the first fully approved course
  • spaced-recall scheduling

This list was checked on 2026-09-13 against what is built. It is not read live, so it can go stale — and it says so rather than letting you find out. The fuller account — what each stage means and what ends it — is on How it all fits.
