Mission Statement: Scholars Online is a nonprofit educational corporation designed to foster classical Christian education through instruction, guidance, and community using emergent communication technologies. Its founders have been offering online courses to homeschoolers, private and public school students, college students, and independent scholars since 1996. While homeschooled high school students are our primary focus, our courses are open to all who meet the requirements and are willing to participate according to our terms of service.

Philosophy/Belief Statement:

All teachers at Scholars Online confess the Trinitarian Christian faith of the Nicene Creed; beyond that, however, the faculty is diverse and reflects a range of theological traditions and scriptural interpretation.

No statement of faith is required of any student, though we expect all students to remain courteous and civil about the beliefs of others. Any student who can meet the prerequisites of a course is welcome, without regard to race, creed, color, age, or current educational affiliation.

School History: Scholars Online was founded as an independent school after separating from ISLAS (Scholars' Online Academy/Regina Coeli) in 1995. Its founding teachers have been teaching in this medium since 1996.
