Scholars Online is no longer in any way associated with Regina Coeli Academy. We incorporated separately in 2005. We do have a fair number of students in common still, and retain a friendly relationship with them. Our faculty includes Trinitarian Christians from a variety of backgrounds, including several Catholics; one of our advisors is a Dominican Father. We do not require any statement of faith from any student. I just came across your site, and wanted to provide a couple of quick corrections or supply missing information.

Students need to ask lots of questions during and after class...it is so worth the extra $125.00 per semester to take the full class...the teacher gives so much help and she even offers a homework session! And by far the cheapest way to go! I have done nothing in the way of helping our kids with this particular online course...plus she gives the students so much review before taking the NLE. And all of the students do so well on these tests. Thank you for your clarification...and I have bookmarked this site for future reference!

You will receive all materials (CD, handouts, Quia access) and be able to observe the two main classes/week for just $100/semester ($200/year). Students "auditing" will not receive grades, take the NLE with us (though you may take it on your own), receive individual help, or attend the help sessions.</blockquote> Of course with their full price courses their is lots of hands on assistance offered. Dear Marianne,

Thank you – but I was specifically addressing the “audit” courses available, it is an affordable option for those that can not financially swing a full price course ($225 for the Latin 100-400 classes vs $100 for the audit option) – from their website:

The teacher is very hands on there! Please reword your description as it is misleading; "...they are just not permitted to ask questions or receive personal assistance." sincerely, Marianne Burnham RE: Lone Pine Classical School…Our two boys have been using Lone Pine for Latin for two years of high school and are certainly permitted to ask questions and have tons of personal assistance from their teacher, Karen.
