You can homeschool; AU can help.

- Workshops for students
- Free one-on-one or group tutoring
- Recreational opportunities
- Engagement with other homeschooled students

Earn High School & College Credit Simultaneously

The College Credit Plus (CCP) dual enrollment program allows students to earn college and high school credits at the same time by taking courses from Ohio colleges or universities. CCP enhances students’ college readiness and postsecondary success, while providing a variety of course options to the college-ready student.

The Ashbrook Academy is an intensive summer program for high school students to study the primary documents and great texts of American history, government and political economy. The academy invites students to consider the American experiment in self-government as a triumph, a victory for the human spirit that warrants grateful celebration but also demands serious study. Scholarships may be available.

Often referred to as “liberal education,” classical learning is a time-tested approach that aims to train students in the tools of learning, equipping them to learn for themselves rather than training in taking tests or for a specific career. By fostering wonder for the true, good and beautiful, it educates the whole person. By studying the trivium (grammar, logic and rhetoric) and often Latin, students learn to use language well, thinking, writing and speaking clearly and persuasively. And by studying the great works of Ancient Greece and Rome, the Renaissance and Reformation and the American regime, students ask the perennial questions of human life and, through conversation, practice the habits of good human beings and free citizens. Join us on Tuesdays for a wide range of Classical topics.
