At American Faith Academy, online learning doesn’t mean learning alone. We are a vibrant, nationwide community of families, educators, and students, united in faith and a shared passion for learning.
We were created for fellowship. That’s why community is not an add-on at American Faith Academy; it is central to our educational model. We intentionally cultivate a rich community life that provides support, encouragement, and a true sense of belonging for both parents and students.
Even though our students learn from different places, they are part of a single, unified body of believers. We provide numerous opportunities for connection, collaboration, and fellowship—so your family feels part of something bigger than itself.
Our students connect with peers from across the country and around the world who share their values and love for learning. We foster these connections through engaging, meaningful experiences that sharpen minds and build lasting relationships.
Students gather regularly in virtual Socratic seminars, salons, and debates with peers across the U.S. and around the globe. These are dynamic, collaborative explorations of truth—students discuss Great Books, defend ideas, present original work, and sharpen one another’s thinking. Every student’s voice is valued, and friendships grow through shared pursuits.
Students can join clubs focused on their passions—debate and public speaking, strategic games, robotics and STEM, creative writing, literature, coding and technology, visual arts, music and worship, service and missions, apologetics, and more. Student-led and faculty-mentored groups meet regularly and provide a space to explore and connect.
Beyond clubs, students can compete in science fairs, speech and debate, academic bowls, math competitions, history and writing contests, and classical academic challenges—building confidence, camaraderie, and shared pride.
Learning comes alive through travel experiences to significant historical sites, cultural landmarks, and places of biblical and classical importance. Students build deep friendships across the network while gaining a global perspective rooted in faith and truth.
Students also collaborate on service projects and missions—putting faith into action and discovering the joy of serving others. Through a pen pal program and moderated social groups, students share prayer requests, celebrate victories, and encourage one another.
Homeschooling can feel isolating—but it doesn’t have to be. At American Faith Academy, you are part of a supportive network of parents who are walking the same road, cheering one another on, and sharing wisdom along the way.
New families are paired with experienced mentor families for guidance, encouragement, and practical help. Your mentor family has walked the path you’re on and is ready to come alongside you with wisdom and support.
Join our weekly virtual meetings to share successes, ask for advice, pray for one another, and build genuine friendships. These calls are a lifeline for many families—providing accountability, encouragement, and a shared mission.
Our private online forums are a place to connect, share resources, and ask questions—whether you need curriculum advice, a word of encouragement, or someone who understands.
We also equip you with ongoing training in classical education, discipleship, and platform use through webinars, workshops, and resource libraries—so you feel confident and supported in your role as your child’s primary educator.
For families seeking a blend of at-home flexibility and in-person community, Excelara Schools offer a physical hub for learning and discipleship. Hosted by local church partners, these centers complement personalized at-home learning with mentorship, enrichment, and fellowship.
Our centers are more than just a place to learn—they are vibrant hubs of fellowship, discipleship, and community life where families connect in person and students experience the joy of learning together.
Are you passionate about bringing Christ-centered, classical education to your community? We are looking for dedicated leaders to partner with us to launch new Excelara Schools.
If you have a heart for education and an entrepreneurial spirit, we provide the training, curriculum, and support you need to launch and lead a thriving Excelara School. Build a sustainable work that makes an eternal impact in your community.
Partner with us to make your church a hub of learning and discipleship during the week. Serve families in your community, advance Christian education, and help equip the next generation.
We’ll walk you through the model, training, and support available—so you can discern whether launching a center is the right next step.
Throughout the year, American Faith Academy hosts regional and national gatherings where families meet in person, worship together, hear from inspiring speakers, and celebrate what God is doing through the community.
Graduation from American Faith Academy is more than receiving a diploma—it is a celebration of faithful learning, character formation, and preparation for a life of purpose. Our annual graduation brings students and families together to honor seniors and commission them for the next chapter.
Discover the power of a community that is united in faith, committed to excellence, and dedicated to supporting one another.
