Absolutely! We welcome all students who are ready to learn! Students have used our courses to provide access and education for courses not available in their own academic setting.
If your organization would like to sign up multiple students for a particular course, please contact registration@excelsiorclasses.com to discuss financial arrangements.
All books and textbooks are available via Amazon or Barnes & Noble, as well as other vendors such as Christian Book Distributors. In some instances, a teacher may provide PDFs of work for the students. There is a private Facebook group for Excelsior families to connect with used resources for our courses.
While we do not allow non-students into our live classes, each teacher’s bio page contains a short introductory video. Our YouTube channel also contains many teacher recordings and presentations. You may also contact a teacher for a sample recording. (New teachers may not have a recording available until the end of the fall semester.)
We like to say that our courses are couched in a Christian worldview. Anyone may take courses with Excelsior Classes!
All teachers must sign a statement of faith regarding affirmation of the Apostles’ Creed and the Nicene Creed among other things, but students and parents are not required to do so. You can learn more about our story and our vision here.
If you are concerned about the religious content of classes, you should know that many teachers do pray with their students at the beginning of class and that the courses are unapologetically couched in a Christian worldview. Some courses use textbooks or materials from Christian content providers, but most courses do not. Classes are taught from a broad (i.e., non-denominational) Christian perspective. Students are never asked to pray aloud, and they are never singled out for religious questions.
All teachers share core beliefs, and we believe that all people groups, in history and present times, are worthy of our respect. Teachers teach from a biblical and academic perspective while treating all with courtesy. We expect students to extend the same respect to the teacher and to others.
If you have specific questions about a particular teacher or class, please feel free to contact the teacher directly or write to registration@excelsiorclasses.com.
Parents are ultimately responsible for determining if courses are a good fit for their family, but we want to help you in your determination by forthrightly answering any questions you have. No refunds are provided for objections to course content or course delivery of said content.
Some courses use textbooks or materials from Christian content providers, but many courses do not. Classes are taught from a broad (i.e., non-denominational) Christian perspective.
We read a broad range of materials in our English and/or history courses and rely on our teachers to provide context and a Christian point of view. We are committed to thinking deeply, showing respect to others, and representing many of the cultures that make up Excelsior Classes through our overseas missionaries and expatriate families and students.
Parents should review the course materials provided on each course description. Please note that teachers do not provide alternative assignments, nor are there any refunds for disputes about class content.
