Schmoop
Subscription Based- One price for multiple classes

Since 2009, Shmoop has been a digital publishing company with a point of view. Our teaching method revolves around the basic idea that learning is often too hard—so we carry gallons of humor-laden academic WD-40 to squirt on the tracks whenever we can. If students enjoy the process, they will do it...more.
We own 100% of our content and present both a consistent voice and a distinctive product offering. Our free Learning Guides, Online Courses, College Readiness Prep, and Test Prep balance a teen-friendly, approachable style with academically rigorous materials to help students understand why they should care. Not one to leave the visual learners hanging, Shmoop also boasts a massive—and always growing—library of thousands of videos, covering everything from literature and history to math and finance.

Williamsburg Academy
All of our courses are online, although students complete hands-on projects and assignments. Students participate from home or any internet connection. We have live courses where mentors and students can see, hear, and share content with each other. We also have self-paced courses where students can study and learn virtually at any time on any day.
We offer all courses required for regular graduation. Our programs include Language Arts, Math, Science, Social Studies, Writing, Fine Arts, PE, etc. We also offer an extremely popular sequence of proprietary leadership courses. Please see our Curriculum page for more details.

​Many of our courses are offered as both an Honors and Classics version. Students attend the same live class sessions, but students in Honors courses have roughly 30% more and/or more difficult readings and assignments in Canvas than students in Classic courses, taking them deeper into the subject.
Students can customize their course load from one class up to a full-time graduation track. Completing an online Williamsburg course is an accomplishment, and a diploma from Williamsburg is a symbol of many hours of study, service and creative engagement.

College Board created the Preliminary SAT (PSAT) and the SAT (Student’s Academic Skills) as an entrance exam that is accepted by most colleges and universities to use in their admissions decisions.  The PSAT has been expanded to offer different tests for different grade levels that offers real practice before the SAT.
