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.

Recommended Writing Services to complement Schola classes

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.

Classical Writing Tutorials: Online Tutorials based on the Classical Progymnasmata. Kathy Weitz's Classical Writing Tutorials offers both live online group tutorials and guided self-study class forums to assist home educating families in the important task of instructing middle school and high school students in the art of clear, winsome communication.
