Upper School (Grades 9–12)

A high school student has many needs, and homeschool families may piece together their student’s academic curricula and schedules from a myriad of providers, institutions, co-ops, and independent study options. We affirm families in their freedom to select a variety of resources that work for them.  At the same time, we aim to provide the courses necessary for a student to meaningfully fulfill his or her mastery portrait and high school transcript entirely with us. At Scholé Academy, we design our courses to be the richest, most formative, personal, and engaging online learning experiences available to families.  

 

Scholé means undistracted time to study the things most worthwhile, usually with friends. Believing that learning is most permanent when practiced from a posture of scholé, we seek the right balance of rigor and rest. Instead of perpetuating a cycle of “cram, pass, and forget,” our courses aim for mastery. The content is deep and challenging, without an overload of assignments that mistakes “many” for “much.” We carefully cultivate the appetite for lifelong, formative learning that manifests in virtue and appropriate cultural engagement. We think it is important to provide our upper school students with tools and opportunities for critically examining various cultural trends, issues, and mindsets through the lens of orthodox, Christian beliefs. 

Our online classical Christian high school courses are prepared as feasts. They intend to be studies that students savor and sink their teeth into. They nourish for growth; they strengthen. And they equip those who partake for a wise and flourishing adulthood.

 

Wisdom is the chief adornment, and this I urge you to seek above all things.” —Alcuin of York, in Andrew Flemming West, Alcuin and the Rise of the Christian Schools.

Why Choose Classical Christian Education for Your High School Student

 

In contrast to an education that is narrowly utilitarian and strictly for “college and career prep,” classical Christian education understands education to be life formation. Respecting and engaging the student as a whole and unique person with an eternal soul is the starting point; growth in virtue is the aim; and attending to developmental stages is the method. Far from abandoning pragmatic usefulness, this educational approach is what has made classical education the form of education that has produced countless great leaders, inventors, scientists, writers, philosophers, theologians, physicians, lawyers, artists, and musicians over the centuries.

Why Homeschooling Families Choose Our Online High School Classes

 

Homeschooling families choose our online high school classes because they trust our instructors as content experts who teach with fidelity to historic Christian faith and contemporary life application. They recognize that the voices of other mature adults are needed in a young person’s life, guiding her through mathematical proofs, helping him form persuasive essays with well-constructed and gracious arguments, fueling her passion for physics, or developing his conversational and academic skill in a second language. Our expert Christian instructors can serve as valuable partners in your family’s homeschool efforts, and some of our many courses may be beautiful missing pieces in your student’s education.
