We Train Leaders, Not Followers

Our courses are intentionally designed to teach students how to think (not what to think) about each subject. We believe this is vital for preparing students to tackle society’s challenges as tomorrow’s leaders.

We Study the Classics, Not Canned Curriculum

Wherever possible, we ask students to read original works in each subject (rather than the textbooks written about those works). This lets our students engage directly with some of history’s best thinkers.

We Emphasize Personal Growth, Not Just Academics

All LAU students take our signature leadership courses. These courses go beyond traditional academics to give students in-depth leadership training for their personal, social, professional, and financial lives.

More Freedom to Be a Kid

At LAU, learning goes beyond the classroom. Our rigorous online program allows students to make school time their own—whether that means studying in a tent, tackling assignments on a trampoline, or taking a research project to the lake. With flexibility and creativity, learning can happen anywhere!
