Recommended Online Courses for a good education
Escondido
Tutorial Service, Fritz Hinrichs' Great
Books-based
tutorial service, has a very good listing of resources
for classical education, and an extensive
list of online tutors offering a wide variety of subjects, besides
his own outstanding series of internet
tutorials. His essay
"Why Classical Education" is an excellent elaboration of Sayers'
article
and a useful description of the philosophy of classical Christian
education.
Some online services not listed on ETS's
site, but highly recommended by Schola:
10 Talents Tutorials:
"10 Talents Tutorials seeks to instruct students in the ways of
economics, business and entrepreneurship. We believe that God
wants His people to excel at using the talents He gives them for His
glory and the betterment of mankind." Mr. Jeff Perley is the
instructor; he has many years of business experience and a sound
understanding, both practical and theoretical, of conservative economic
principles.
Monarch
Tutorials - Music was one of the seven liberal arts in medieval
educational theory, and being conversant in the language of music and
in music history is an essential part of a well-rounded understanding.
Monarch Tutorials offers an online course in the History of Music.
Syneva Colle is the instructor; she has advanced degrees in music and a
great deal of experience in both performing and teaching.

Writing
Assessment Services:
Cindy Marsch has been offering evaluations of the papers students write
for Schola classes since the very beginning of Schola. I highly
recommend her, especially if your child is taking Schola Great Books.
