Most of our classes are available as asynchronous classes. The asynchronous option allows a student to view the classes on his own time. The content of the course is exactly the same, but there are no writing assignments and no grades issued for the high school courses. The asynchronous option gives a student access to the streaming videos of the course for a full year. The classes are not discussion based and focus rather on the art and skill of reading well, and in the high school classes, on the Intellectual Tradition of a work. Students from all over the world choose the asynchronous option.
