Testimonials

I've learned to read and write better, yes, but I have also learned accountability, time management, and communication skills, which I quite literally thank God for, so thank you for all the work you and the rest of the staff do!

My son took classes with HSLDA Online Academy last year, and his instructors went ABOVE AND BEYOND to make sure that he understood the material. They also generously agreed to provide letters of recommendation for my son, which led to him winning his scholarship.

This is why we are returning to HSLDA Online Academy for our other children and their homeschool education!

I just wanted to let you know about how much I LOVED this class. I'm actually going to miss it so so so much. I learned so much through the conversations, jokes, and, of course, the line of awesome. This class truly brightened up my Tuesdays and I truly can't express how much this class means to me. Even during the week I would just watch the recording of the last class and be smiling my ears off! This is my third year with HSLDA and out of all my classes this has been my favorite. I hope you know that you are such an amazing teacher! Thank you for the best semester ever!
P.S. (Also I'm starting the Little Prince because of you! So excited for it!)

Thank you for offering AP classes with a Christian Worldview. It is invaluable to us as a family.

I have homeschooled eight students thru Highschool graduation. Each year I assessed what was the best situation for each student. HSLDA seemed like a perfect match for my youngest child's needs and desires for her 19th grade year. HSLDA Online Academy has been a great blessing to us this year! The schedule has been just what we needed for our extracurricular activities. I feel the quality of instruction is superb, staff is responsive and assignments are appropriate for the material presented. We are looking forward to continuing with HSLDA online throughout the remainder of high school.

I like that the HSLDA teachers genuinely care about the quality of learning their students are experiencing. The interactions my children have had over the years with their HSLDA teachers has been extremely positive. I appreciate the academic standards upheld by HSLDA classes, and, again, the method of teaching so that my children are pushed to do their best while still being treated with care and respect.

HSLDA has great course options that have helped our family fill in the gaps senior year. My senior has enjoyed her courses and the live instructors have been very informative as well as kept my senior accountable. As parents, we have been very pleased in the textbook choices of the instructors as well.

These classes have been an answer to prayer. We finally found a German 1 course for my son with HSLDA, so my daughter decided to take Spanish 2 here also. I appreciate the HSLDA teacher's level of difficulty and fun built into the course & live lessons!

My son went from being a very poor writer, to being exceptional in writing after taking the AP English Language and Composition course. He is still reaping the benefit from this course as he continues to write.

My son has grown in understanding and matured in his participation in the biology course. I am grateful for the focus on biblical truth and for the educational standards. I wish I would have found HSLDA sooner, but I am so glad we are able to be apart now. I believe this has helped prepare him for what is ahead for him in college.

AP scores came out today, and I got a five on AP Gov. I really enjoyed your class, and it seems to have paid off for me.

When this is the text you get from your sophomore who doesn’t looooove school, you know you’ve made good decisions for English :) Your courses also prepped my son for college (just finishing first year with a 4.0) and I rave to everyone how helpful they are for essay writing and getting ready for college. Thank you!

HSLDA Online Academy allowed me to take AP classes in the comfort of my home. It better prepared me for college level work. Now I have the skills and tools necessary for my success.

All of the teachers care so much about the students and they genuinely want the students to succeed in the class. All of my classes helped me strengthen the gifts that I had started to discover while also preparing me for future English-based work.

Thanks to the quality of HSLDA's coursework and the amazing teachers, I have a full-ride scholarship to North Greenville University.

He explained everything in an engaging way and always answered questions in a helpful way. Latin isn't easy, but it was one of my favorite classes.

The teachers truly care for their students and the live sessions are the greatest (even for introverts like me)! I learned to interact more with fellow students in break out rooms and ask the questions that I needed answered.

The teachers are not just your instructors; they are people who truly care about you and desire to strengthen both your academic knowledge and love for the Lord. The classes are designed to challenge you and make you a more well-rounded individual, both intellectually and spiritually. It has been amazing for me to see how God ties into literally everything I learn - from literature to economics. If you are someone who is seeking to "work with all your heart, as working for the Lord" in your academia, HSLDA is the place for you!

Our older child has just completed her first year at university. She felt that her high school education—which was largely completed through HSLDA Online Academy—prepared her very well for college. In fact, she earned a 4.0 her freshman year. As a homeschool parent, it is difficult to know if you are providing your students with everything they need to succeed. We enthusiastically recommend HSLDA Online Academy to you and your college-bound students.

He provided knowledge and skills for my students that I could not have put together myself. Well worth the cost of the education in preparation for their future, in fact, we chose to do the Computer Skills class prior to College Dual Enrollment & my son said he cannot imagine taking online dual enrollment without FIRST having the knowledge he learned from HSLDA’s Computer Skills course.

The teachers are top-notch. Not only do they teach in an engaging way, they also do a super job of preparing the students to excel on the AP exams and beyond. We’ve been very grateful to have these classes offered in an academically-rigorous, Christ-centered environment. Thank you!

With a quick phone call, the staff at HSLDA Online Academy accommodated my request to upload my reports to the NCAA eligibility center.

It is such a fun, interactive class that enables students to learn Spanish efficiently while refining their skills. I'm still surprised to see how much I have learned over the course of the class and am able to both read, write, and speak Spanish much better than I did before. The course content is very well-organized and allows students to see their improvement over the months. Spanish 3 has also helped me to improve in areas when it comes to speaking over the microphone and volunteering during live class sessions (skills that I know will benefit me in college and beyond). Thanks to the course, I have decided to pursue a minor in Spanish!

I knew a good amount of Spanish before taking this course, but Spanish 3 has helped me to speak in a more articulate manner.

I feel as though I have become closer to the Lord through this course. It was absolutely thrilling to be able to read His word in another language.

I highly recommend this course to anyone looking for such a course. Will not be disappointed!

The learning experience is not only fun but also very useful. Questions and interactions are able to be made in class, which makes it easier to learn. The Christian worldview is strongly encouraged in class, both with the teachers and among the students. I recommend taking classes with HSLDA!

This course gave me a great overview of Hispanic culture, grammar and vocabulary. I can now make myself understood in a basic conversation and I have an excellent foundation for years to come.

HSLDA and Canvas have both proven beneficial to my education, and I recommend using this platform to anyone.

Precalculus and Trigonometry will give you a fair challenge as you prepare for higher math in college. The class is well organized and does not waste your time with busy work.

The teacher and classmates are very nice, and I have even made a couple friends. The workload is not overwhelming, but I am still learning a whole LOT. I am actually finding myself to be more interested in math than I would have been otherwise.

The teachers are very helpful and are happy to help with any concepts that are harder to grasp. I definitely want to take HSLDA next year!

At the beginning of the year I was nervous because I was told this was going to be a really hard class. While Physics is challenging, the enthusiastic teacher, realistic workload, and fun classmates

helped make this class my favorite science course so far. I'm excited to revisit Physics in my college years and see how God plans to use this knowledge in my life.

I learned a lot and while I never enjoyed numbers previous to this class, I am seriously considering pursuing a degree where business and accounting are involved. 10 out of 10 recommend.

It is challenging to learn, but worth learning because Latin is an organized and beautiful language.

The teacher was wonderful and definitely understanding about any problems/difficulties that arose, and the amount of homework isn't too much. It's a rigorous class that doesn't overwhelm you too much and I found myself really excited about all the concepts we learned.

There is a lot to learn in a very short period of time and can be a challenge, but the class is well structured thanks to the teacher!

I always wanted to learn German, and this class really helped me understand the language better!

I have always loved the US government, but never understood it very well. iCitizen not only explains how it works, but encouraged me to think for myself on critical issues and explain why I feel that way, plus strengthened my writing skills. The Founders knew what they were doing when they designed our government!

I love how Christian world views are integrated into everyday things like coding. It is very engaging and fun. I like how we get the same team for group projects throughout the semester so that we can get to know each other and know who is good at what, which allows us to become very efficient. The teachers are very nice and professional, and I would highly recommend this course.

Going into this class I knew nothing about coding, all I knew was that it fascinated me. I wasn't sure if I was going to understand the course material. Coming into this course knowing basically nothing, I quickly learned that my teacher was there to help me and explain things that I was having trouble with. Ultimately, I think this course was one of the best things that I have done in my high school and I wish I had discovered how great HSLDA Academy courses are sooner so that I could have taken more of them.

The teachers are great and everything is explained so clearly; I feel like I am understanding it and not just memorizing the theorems/formulas. My favorite part about the course is that I have made some new friends from all around the country.

This course gave a strong foundation for how to write and organize papers. What you learn in this class, you will use for the rest of your life, even outside of writing. If you want a course that is helpful to learn how to write and is grounded in biblical principles, this class is a great choice!

I have loved it so much, that I have chosen to take English 1 next year! I also loved the way the Christian worldview is integrated so beautifully! The quality of the material is wonderful. Thank you HSLDA!!!

I used to hate writing, but now I love it! This course has taught me so much about grammar that I am the grammar police at my house. It also has taught me how to properly write an essay. I am no longer scared of writing an essay! You will not regret taking this class!

I completed HSLDA, ready and prepared to enter high school. The teachers at HSLDA are amazing at providing resources, helping you further understand topics, and are great at building you up, and making you proud to be in their class. I highly recommend HSLDSA to anyone considering online homeschooling.

The discussions have given me an opportunity to analyze texts more deeply and alongside fellow students. It has also enabled me to find an appreciation for poetry.

Reading, discourse, and writing take center stage as you hone your creative and analytical academic skills.

The weekly discussions help us grasp a better understanding of our text while engaging with our fellow classmates!

Never having taken an online English class before, I am so glad I chose to enroll in HSDLA's English 3. I have seen so much improvement in my writing over the course of the class, and have enhanced and refined my skills in multiple areas. My favorite part of the course is the immense amount of variety when it comes to assignments. Rather than writing an essay every couple of weeks, students get to learn how to analyze poetry, build strong arguments, write outlines, speeches and précis, as well as participate in fun and interactive discussion posts. I know this has been a class that will continue to benefit long throughout my life and future career(s). Thank you, HSDLA!

This class is phenomenal curriculum wise, it covers everything very well and I feel like I've definitely learned a lot.

As I have been homeschooled since kindergarten, the thought of classes and in-person schooling scared me. When my parents first mentioned putting me in an online class, I was extremely hesitant. However, being in my junior year of high school, I knew the exposure was necessary. HSLDA exceeded all of my expectations. The different conversations and opinions that took place during class time and in our joint assignments were highly encouraging. I wasn't the only new-comer in my class, so we were all learning together! The different perspectives helped my learning even more. The students were all friendly with each other as well as the teacher. It was a very welcoming setting. This year isn't over and I'm already signed up for another class in the fall. I look forward to taking with HSLDA again next year!

I enjoyed the way the course was laid out with the content surrounding the books we were reading. The comprehensive view of world literature was informative and our live class sessions were both engaging and fun. My teacher was so good at explaining and walking us through intimidating assignments and helping us to grow in our writing ability. I learned much about the writing process, honed my writing, and grew my understanding and knowledge of literature.

This course is fantastic. The teacher is out of this world.

This is my second year with the academy and with each class I seem to learn something new that improves my writing ability, Christian walk, and little things in between. There is a chat where we can ask our teacher questions, converse with fellow classmates, and share prayer requests, or anything really. If you love reading, writing, or just learning more about God, definitely sign up for this course!

Every teacher has been exceptional. They are respectful, respond to questions quickly, and are willing to work with your homeschooling schedule. I have been impressed and thankful by how well they incorporate Christ into every class. Each of my teachers pray and read scripture in class, and help us understand the questions we might have about the Bible.

They have helped me not only with my writing and grammar for schoolwork, but for my personal writing as well. My teacher is very kind and knowledgeable, and I look forward to my live classes every week.

I highly recommend taking it, especially in an age where the Constitution seems just a byword to condemn legislation one doesn't support.

Even though its an online class, the class participation is really involving and engaging.

If you are interested in a course that not only covers the basics of how to interact with your computer as a user, and even some hands-on coding and programming, (and some other interesting concepts), but also goes through the ins and outs of the story behind how that computer and our modern tech in general came to be, (through solo breakthroughs of lone inventors, and ingenious teamwork alike) then this is the course for you!

This course equips you to code well and efficiently, so that you can have more of those moments.

It is organized in a simplistic way, and the material is straightforwardly taught. This really helps to eliminate confusion, while also helping me to understand difficult material. I've learned a lot about a subject I was originally terrified of!

I love being pushed and stretched in my mind skills and knowledge of school. Their use of incorporating a Christian worldview is relieving in a world full of evolution. As an academy student studying at HSLDA for four years now, I highly recommend any of their stellar courses!

The teachers are enthusiastic about student growth, and it shows in everything that they do. I have gained such vital skills for life through Business and Entrepreneurship 101, and feel so much more equipped for life because of them.

I have gained so much valuable insight about how to apply business principles to my professional and personal life in a way that honors God and others.

The course even encouraged me to begin working on launching my own company. The teachers are excellent and extremely supportive.

This biology class has not been easy, but thanks to amazing teachers, I was able to end with a grade I was satisfied with. Science is an amazing thing to study, and HSLDA uses the Bible to prove Creation, which is amazing! I love attending my live sessions with my peers, and our great teacher, the course is week setup and easy understand what is expected. I truly have enjoyed attending this course with HSDLA this year, as a freshman, and I cannot wait to take future high school classes with HSLDA in the coming academic years.

The workload isn't stressful, but still made me understand the information deeply. It excellently integrates a christian worldview in a class that is normally know for its lack of it. I enjoyed this class so much, I dread the summer because i won't be dissecting frogs or discussing stem cells with classmates

It showed me how to work harder and let me delve deeper into matters about history with the Discussion Questions. I was really happy with the teacher I got.

The work that is expected of me and the quality of teaching and instruction has pushed me to my limits in new ways like no other class. I came into this course with next to zero history instruction and I am coming out of it with so much wonderful guidance to learn from in the history of our planet! I wouldn't trade this opportunity for anything.

I really enjoyed it, as the teacher was engaging, the discussion forums were thought provoking, and the work load, while large, was definitely manageable. I didn't really know what to expect when I entered this course, but I really enjoy it, and am not really looking forward to saying goodbye to the course, teacher, and fellow students. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for an APUSH course.

This course really helped solidify what I briefly knew about Macroeconomics, and did it in an engaging, fun and productive way. This course really taught what it meant financially and economically to be a Christian living in the World, but not of it.

It's a tough course. It takes a lot of time. But if you put in the time and effort, the amount you learn is amazing. This course is packed full of information.

I went into this course with literally no knowledge about American government and politics except that we elected a president every four years. I'm coming out of this course knowing everything, from the nuances of politics to the ideas of our founding fathers, to how the US interacts with the world! Such a complete transformation has taken place in my mind in only two semesters! I feel so wholly well-informed about my own country, and so wholly well-equipped to be an adult who can navigate civics in real life. Best of all, I have learned more of what it means to be a Christian living not only in America, but in a world full of governments. I have learned how God is involved with these institutions, and the importance of not only reliance on Him as individuals, but also reliance on Him as a nation. This course was so hard, but so worth it! If you want all of this to happen to you, take HSLDA Online Academy's AP US Government and Politics!

AP U.S. Government and Politics is one of the most rigorous courses I have ever taken, as it should be. The course material is extensive and engaging and the discussions we have as a class are always fascinating and deeply thought-provoking

I enjoyed getting to explore the light and darkness of literature with a great teacher in this class. Not enough people read or study literature anymore, and it is encouraging to know that HSLDA does it properly.

The practice tests throughout the year helped me build confidence in my test taking abilities. Knowing what I could expect eased my anxiety. The class was not only about testing though. I learned about some of the greatest works in the history of literature in a way that was enlightening and enjoyable. Class discussions, weekly discussion forums, and essay assignments, all relating to the works read for the class, resulted in my knowing the works really well. I could write about a given work off the top of my head. This is an especially helpful skill for the essay section of the AP exam. I am so glad I took this class as I learned valuable learning skills I will benefit from for the rest of my education!

This course teaches one how to write well, and informs the student on what the expectations are for college writing. The class instructor grades your papers as a college professor would, paying close attention to details such as formatting, sentence structure, and punctuation. My class instructor was terrific, and gave very insightful and detailed feedback. This course helped me grow as a writer, and I think others would grow from taking this course as well.

When my parents signed me up for this course, I did not anticipate just how much this course would challenge and grow me in great ways. Yes, it is a challenging course but so worth it! Not only did I learn so much about making my writing more polished, but I learned how to enhance my argumentation in academia. In addition, this class teaches you how to rhetorically analyze literature, seeing past just the text itself into the deeper, overall structure, meaning, and impact of different pieces of literature. What also surprised me was that through the course reading in this AP class, I now have a newfound respect for the ancients and their writing--like those of Plato, Cassiodorus, Vergerio, and so many others (many of whom were Christian). You read their works to help apply what you're learning in the class, but through doing so I myself came away with an unexpected admiration for them and an enriched love for education in general!

This is not just because I enjoy math in general--the teacher is amazing, the course is laid out very clearly, and it is so much fun getting to know the other students in class. Throughout this year I have continually been amazed at the patterns found in math and how everything fits together just perfectly. To me, this is very clear evidence that our world was designed by our infinitely creative Creator. I highly recommend this class to anyone considering this course.

This Algebra 2 course was challenging in a good way as it showed me that math is not just another subject, but an insight into God's creation. The teacher is kind, and energetic with what she does, and cares about her students. If you have any questions going over that concept, she always responds and is very encouraging. I loved this course and would record it to any one looking to take Algebra 2 :)

You need to understand everything to keep on going. But the recommendation I can give you, is practice and take some time to work on this course, if you put at least 2/3 hours a week you will be doing great in this class, so I think that practicing can make succeed a lot in Algebra 2 course.

Algebra 2 is one of the best! It integrates a Christian worldview in ways I never knew were possible with math. It allows my classmates and I to see math through a lens that shows how God has used it in all his creations.

I have always done poorly in math, but this year, I did better than expected. The teacher does an amazing job at explaining the course material in an easy-to understand matter. I look forward to taking future mathematic courses with HSLDA.
