A high school student has many needs, and homeschool families may piece together their student’s academic curricula 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. 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.
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 so very effective. It is the form of education that has produced countless great leaders, inventors, scientists, writers, philosophers, theologians, physicians, lawyers, artists, and musicians over the centuries.
“Our daughter is getting a stellar education. The teachers are top notch: over-the-top passionate about their subject and the engagement of young minds! Our daughter has made genuine connections with her classmates.”
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.
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. Scholé means undistracted time to study the things most worthwhile, usually with friends. Instead of perpetuating a cycle of “cram, pass, and forget,” our courses aim for mastery.
Whether you are a seasoned homeschooler or just beginning, your family will find Scholé Academy courses meaningful, joy-filled, helpful, and practical. We’re happy to serve you as a partner in your student’s love and growth toward truth, goodness, and beauty.
