Scholé Academy offers interactive online courses that pair classical curriculum with a restful (scholé) pedagogy. The resources below are helpful guides as you explore who we are and what we look for.

• About Scholé Academy:  This video from our CEO, Dr. Christopher Perrin, describes what makes Scholé courses unique in the world of online education.
• What is Classical Education? This article presents an overview of our educational philosophy.
• Student-Parent Handbook: The handbook includes our statement of faith, a description of our learning philosophy, and the agreement parents sign when they enroll in our courses.
• Welcome to the Great Hall @ Scholé Academy:  Learn how we work together across Christian traditions while making room for our important differences.
• Tutoring Center:  Many of our course instructors also serve in our tutoring center, offering private course instruction, supplemental tutoring, or services for students with learning differences.  Our most popular subjects in the Tutoring Center are language arts, Latin, writing, and mathematics.

At Scholé Academy, we are looking for online instructors and tutors in math, science, humanities, grammar, logic, rhetoric, Latin, modern foreign languages, writing, catechism, Bible, and fine arts.  We consider proposals to teach one or more of our standard courses as well as newly-proposed courses.  We invite you to view our current Catalog of Courses and to learn more about our Tutoring Center.  You may also review a past informational session (December 2023) for interested candidates.

In addition to faithful adherence to fundamental Christian doctrine and subject matter competence, we look for the following competencies:

• Pedagogically classical —We expect our instructors to not only understand classical education but to apply it in every aspect of their teaching.  If you are invited for an interview, we’ll want to hear about your teaching experiences and how a classical approach shapes your pedagogy.
• Entrepreneurial — All Scholé Academy instructors and tutors are independent contractors. That means we are looking for people who desire flexibility, work with independence, and have an entrepreneurial spirit.  While some instructors have built their online teaching business up to the level of full-time self-employment with modest compensation, most of our instructors consider their online instruction to be supplemental income.
• Tech-Savvy—Our online courses feature live video conferencing via Zoom. Our instructors manage course content using Canvas, an online learning management system.  While we provide software, instructors provide their own tech equipment, and they should have ready access to the tools for online teaching, including a reliable high-speed internet signal.

Program Specific Requirements
