  • Our ELA classes help students who would like to develop their reading, writing, and critical thinking skills before launching into literature classes.

    Unlike a literature class, which emphasizes rigorous critical analysis of a specific text, an ELA class will engage students with a variety of texts and writing styles to help them learn about and practice basic reading strategies, vocabulary, grammar and writing conventions, and rudimentary textual analysis.

    Featured Class:

    Reading Strategies: Our Reading Strategies class meets students where they’re currently at so that they are appropriately challenged but not overwhelmed. Class levels are determined by Lexile scores, but the class components are the same regardless of level: reading practice and book reviews. Students read multiple passages from famous works every class session to practice different reading techniques and recognize literary devices. Students also write and present reviews of books they read independently to apply the active reading techniques they’ve learned, develop effective communication skills, and gain confidence and fluency.

  • Our classes are designed for students who wish to enhance their understanding and appreciation of classic literature through rigorous study and in-depth conversations.

    In addition to literary deep dives during class, literature students will also receive personalized feedback on their writing and access to numerous resources to continue their learning outside of the classroom.

    Ready to get started? After a brief consultation, we will recommend a class that meets your needs and provides an appropriate challenge. Alternatively, you can request to form or join a class to study a particular book.

  • Spanning ancient and modern systems of reasoning, our logic classes introduce students to the structure of thought itself. From Aristotle’s syllogisms to digital circuits and propositional logic, students learn to recognize valid arguments, evaluate reasoning, and apply logical frameworks across disciplines.

  • Our STEM classes help high school and college students develop foundational skills and excel in the natural sciences and mathematics.

    These classes can be used to supplement learning in a traditional classroom, to introduce more advanced concepts that are not taught in your school, to prepare for competitions and tests, or to explore theories and applications that inform how we think about and interact with our world. 

    Featured Classes:

    AMC Math: Our math course prepares students for the AMC10 through a combination of problem-solving strategies, intuitive reasoning, and conceptual exploration. Using First Steps for Math Olympians, students develop the analytical and creative thinking skills needed for success in mathematical competitions and beyond.

    Physics: This high school physics class guides students through the fundamental principles that govern the natural world, from motion and energy to electricity and waves. Emphasizing conceptual clarity, mathematical modeling, and Socratic inquiry, the course helps learners build a strong foundation in both theory and applied problem solving.

  • Students in our history classes will learn about important movements and moments that shaped our past and influenced political, social, and cultural changes. Our classes focus on teaching history with primary documents from important thinkers of the time and emphasize contextualization and critical thinking, not simply memorizing dates and events.

    Our current class offerings pertain to the founding of the United States of America and the revolutionary politics and philosophies that influenced its development.

    Featured Class:

    The Essential Works of Thomas Paine: In this class, students will learn about the Enlightenment, the American Revolution, the French Revolution, American and European politics, and basic political theory by studying six of Thomas Paine’s most important works—Common Sense, The American Crisis, Rights of Man, The Age of Reason, and Agrarian Justice—and related historical resources and analyses. This class is recommended for advanced students with an interest in American history, political theory, and Enlightenment thinking.
