CLRC Online Academy

The CLRC Online Academy: Excellent courses, skilled and caring instructors, and personal guidance in a full high school program.

Overview

After more than a decade of offering a wide array of courses to homeschool families and private and public schools, the Classical Learning Resource Center now also offers a full diploma program.

The CLRC Online Academy is a high school diploma-granting program for full-time CLRC students in grades 9 through 12.  We offer graduation plans to help parents and students map out their course and credit needs–generally 24 to 28 graduating credits.  

Courses are online and taught by CLRC instructors, ⅔ of whom hold advanced degrees.  Families receive counseling on the college admissions process, and graduating students receive an official transcript and diploma.

CLRC is accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges, has over 30 NCAA approved courses, and offers dual credit and select AP courses.
