Scholars Online merges appropriate technologies with exceptionally rigorous classical educational content to equip its global community of students, parents, and teachers to pursue truth faithfully and honestly live the life of the mind.

We believe that genuine classical learning is hard and challenging — hard, because the material itself is hard, and living a committed and serious life in the world is hard; challenging, because rising to a challenge uniquely builds character. We believe that it cannot be achieved by shortcuts, or reduced to a formula. We adopt new tools, from video conferencing to artificial intelligence, insofar as they serve this honest pursuit — fostering genuine mastery, honoring the failures from which learning proceeds, and freeing teachers and students to focus on clarity of thought and expression.

We believe that Christian learning is rooted in a recognition of our God-given nature and charity for all, even those with whom we most vehemently disagree. We believe that we can thereby mediate the love of Christ, and also model an alternative for a world that is being torn asunder by shallow and divisive discourse.

At the core of classical Christian education, therefore, lies the difficult task of understanding one another with both charity and critical acumen. It depends directly on the close interpretation of words, arguments, and ideas, and also on the cultivation of precise expression of ideas. We are unabashedly logocentric — we prize the written word as the medium through which the most critical ideas have been conveyed throughout the generations. This underlies our approach to our source material, and also our instructional media.

Scholars Online was founded in 2005 as an independent school by former ISLAS teachers, some of whom started teacher online in 1995. The school was fully accredited in 2009 - 2017 through NWAC/AdvancEd and is accredited starting with the 2020-2021 academic year through MSA-CESS.
Awards and Recognition: Winner eight years running for  iLearn Awards by Practical Homeschooling Magazine in the categories of Online Academies, Classical Studies, History, Latin, Science, and core high school and middle school programs.

Scholars Online was founded to promote rigorous classical Christian education for college-bound students and life-long learners.  Most students are in grades 6-12, but adults are welcome to take courses as well, and some teachers offer individual tutorials to accommodate different learning rates or scheduling issues.  For parents, this is a great opportunity to really learn Latin, Greek, chemistry, or pre-calculus for yourself, to be better prepared to help or teach your own students!

Academic year classes meet up to three times weekly with teachers in live chat sessions — the technology used varies by teacher and subject and may include text chat, audio chat, or whiteboards, and most courses rely on open-source Moodle technology to provide homework assignments, quizzes, and student feedback. Chat sessions are usually scheduled during the US day from 9am to 6pm Eastern.   Course tuition depends on the number of meetings per week, but generally runs from $350/year for courses meeting once a week for an hour to $600/year for courses meeting multiple times a week with extensive student feedback.  

Course tracks include World History (two years),  Latin (up to seven years), Greek (up to seven years),  French (up to three years), Mathematics (Algebra through calculus), Philosophy (Logic and Reasoning),  Literature (up to five years), and Science (up to six years), with unique courses in listerautre (Western Literature to Dante), history of science, Old English, and Spanish for Adults, and programming.  Check the complete academic year course offerings at Scholars Online.
