For the last ten years Via Potentia has developed as a life-improving system of fitness and self-defense. This year it is transforming into an online, non-profit educational academy that is grounded in (and teaches) sound philosophy and serves people in these three groups:
Our emphasis is upon developing the person's ability to think well through training in philosophy. The philosophy courses are designed to be understandable to high school juniors and seniors, but courses are open to other ages as well, and we are planning to include other standard school subjects for grades 9-12 in 2019.
(We operate on a trimester schedule with 12 weeks per term similar to many community colleges and universities.)

The 2020/2021 school year will bring additional core HS courses.
We are presently choosing and building the learning management system (probably Moodle-based), records systems, accreditation, etc. Course content is presented via a combination of readings, pre-recorded lectures and live online discussions.
