The Slavic Christian Academy (SCA) offers Christian online homeschooling courses for students in grades 3-12. It is located in the US state of Washington. Founded in 2004, it is a religious non-profit private school with four physical campuses located in the northwestern US, in addition to its online school. SCA graduates receive a Washington State Diploma.
SCA had 249 K-12 students in 2009-2010.
Full-time (grades 3-12) and part-time (grades 7-12) education is available. Tuition may cost between $240 and $1680 per year.
Advertising clearly targets parents of homeschoolers, e.g.
- "By using SCA's accredited online program, parents no longer have to worry about obtaining teaching credentials, grading assignments or even creating homeschooling curriculums."
Completely online courses are provided by the "Switched-On Online" (SOO) curriculum provider. Courses involve teacher-led instruction; "classes" of under 20 students; and teacher support via email or phone.
