Welcome to Memoria
Press's Online Classical Academy. The Online Academy is designed primarily for
home school families interested in a classical Christian liberal arts education.
Founded in 2006, the Online Academy offers classes in the following subject
areas:
Your student will
meet once a week for 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 hours in "class": either a text
chat or an audio/text chat with their instructor, who asks questions about the
material studied the previous week, drills the student individually on relevant
course material, and conducts competitions among students to test their knowledge
of facts and ability to apply important skills.
After completing weekly
self-instructive course assignments, your student takes one or more weekly quizzes
over that week's material with our easy-to-use learning software. As soon as
the student completes each quiz, the grade is automatically logged to a student
gradebook that you and your student can access at any time. Based on the principle
of mastery learning, our system allows your student to take the tests as many
times as needed to understand the material. The software flags the student's
errors and requires them to be corrected, helping your student to learn from
his mistakes.
If, during the week,
your student has a question or needs assistance, the instructor is available
through the course question and discussion forum, by e-mail, and during weekly
office hours.
