The CiRCE Institute’s Online Academy, featuring courses in classical composition and literature taught by experienced and dedicated classical educators, provides a digital model for classical education designed to help home schooling parents supplement the classical education of their children. Using time-tested approaches and cutting edge technology, we  help your students become better writers, readers, and thinkers. 

But, above all, The CiRCE Institute’s Online Academy is dedicated to helping you cultivate wisdom and virtue in your children. CiRCE focuses on cultivating the soul of the child. The primary concern is his transformation, his habits of mind - not merely his finished products
 

Our Christian, classical approach offers: 

  •  30 + hours of classtime per class/per semester
  • 10-30 hours of personal, private feedback
  • One-on-one coaching available
  • Uniquely classical approach to (weekly) assessment. It is relationally based, not machine-grading of data, dealing with each student as a unique person.
  • Small, intimate classes (limited to 15)
  • Socratic methods of instruction
  • 24/7 online gradebook
  • Christ-centered focus
  • CiRCE certified instructors 

The CiRCE Online Academy is selective. Students are screened to make sure they're a good fit for each class so that they can receive maximum benefit from the instruction and contribute to the discussion in which others also participate.
 
Ongoing teacher training assures that the teachers are also growing in their understanding of their subject, their pedagogy, and their students.


Returning students can begin to register February 15, 2012. New student registration will open March 15, 2012. To register, students must first apply and pay an application fee. Each application will be reviewed by the academy's administration and by the teacher for the course to which the student is applying. If the student is accepted, we will invoice you for the tuition prior to the first day of class.
