Expectations for Classical Education Graduates

Scholars Online offers curriculum support to those pursuing a classical Christian education. Its students may take one course, a sequence of courses in a given area, or most of their courses through our program, either for secondary education credit, or for personal enrichment, so it has a diverse set of graduates. Regardless of the number or topic of the courses they take, Scholars Online students should:

1. Exhibit dedication to the truth in all aspects of life.
2. Express themselves clearly and concisely in defense of the truth as they perceive it, in both written and spoken language.
3. Engage in civil discourse concerning difficult and divisive subjects, listening with charity and respecting others even when they hold opposing positions.
4. Take personal responsibility for meeting commitments to themselves and to others on time, completely, and well.
5. Apply critical thinking and problem solving skills in all areas — practical and theoretical, sacred and secular.
6. Recognize failure as beneficial to learning, and explore untried approaches to new challenges without the assurance of success.
7. Develop a habit of learning, both individually and in community with others.
8. Demonstrate mastery of course material on standardized tests, in subsequent studies, and in practical life.
