School of Humanity is an award-winning online school where we learn by doing and having a positive impact on the world. We offer both a Middle School and High School program for learners globally. Instead of learning through exams or rote memorization, we learn through real-world challenges and projects. With learners spanning 26 countries across 6 continents, we are the school for the world.

Yes! School of Humanity is licensed as an American online school in the United States. We are fully internationally accredited by Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC).

WASC has long been recognized as a leading accrediting body, providing accreditation to public and private universities, colleges and schools globally. You can learn more about what our WASC accreditation means here.

Yes! We take a personalized approach to university preparation, with each learner receiving 1:1 pathway advisory. Our learners are applying to university as American High School students. We recommend researching the entry requirements for the specific courses and universities you are interested in.

More traditional courses may require a GPA Transcript, SATs and/or AP exams, all of which learners can choose to work towards at Advanced Level at our school.

At School of Humanity, we are looking for curious learners who want to make a positive impact on the world. We look for learners with an enthusiasm for learning, and a desire to better themselves. We require new learners to meet Grade 8 (High School) or Grade 6 (Middle School) competencies in Math, English & Science. Please note that we do not require “formal” transcripts during the admissions process.

Be yourself! We want to get to know you as a human being. You do the application process justice when you are authentic about your interests, expectations and goals with the program.

The full Admissions process takes between 1-3 weeks on average. The initial written application takes between 30-45 minutes to complete. Shortlisted candidates are then invited for a 30 minute interview with our Admissions Team.

We invite candidates with special learning differences for an additional chat with our Head of Flourishing & Inclusion.

We invite learners joining us in Grade 10 for a Curriculum Planning Call with our Education Team to plan an accelerated three-year graduation pathway.

Our school is an accredited alternative to traditional schools, designed for families who are frustrated with the traditional system.

Instead of exams, we learn through real-world projects. Instead of a standardized curriculum, we learn through personalized learning. Instead of memorization, we focus on whole-human development. We embed real-world experiences into the learning journey through industry mentorship and micro-internships.

While our model is fully online, it is designed to be interactive, social, and personalized. Instead of long school days, learners balance live workshops with self-paced learning time which they can complete whenever works for them.

Each week, learners balance interactive, live workshops with self-paced learning time. Fridays are free for flow, focus, and extracurriculars.

All learners have three hours of live workshops, four days a week. Our workshops are designed to be collaborative, with learners tackling challenges, exploring skills for the future, embarking on a journey of self-discovery and more.

This is complemented by self-paced learning time (8 hours weekly for Middle School, 18+ hours weekly for High School). This is personalized, and can be done whenever works for learners throughout the week.

We offer both a Middle School & High School program, catering to learners aged 11-18 (Grades 7 – 12). However, we believe in ability, not age, meaning we welcome younger applicants who meet our entry criteria.

Our school tuition is $7800 when paid termly, or $7000 upfront. This includes live workshops, 1:1 check-ins with educators, industry mentorship, internships and all our learning resources. We offer both partial and full financial aid to eligible families, with a limited number of places available in each cohort.

Learners can apply for financial aid when they submit their initial program application form. Aid is processed separately to admission to the program. Please note that we have a limited number of places available per cohort, and that aid is allocated based off eligibility, time applied and alignment with the program.

We process financial aid towards the end of the previous term being applied for. For example, if you apply for financial aid for our September Term, we will share an aid update by the end of our previous April Term.

We have our own unique curriculum, The Human Literacies Framework. Based off research from OECD & WEF, our curriculum is designed to equip learners with the knowledge, skills and mindsets they need for their future. Instead of rote-memorization or exams, learners earn credits through meaningful projects, real-world challenges and extracurricular learning.

Our Advanced Credits are benchmarked against the AP exams (Advanced Placement), giving learners the choice to prepare for these in Grades 11 & 12 should they need for university admission, along with the EPQ qualification.

Our learners graduate with an internationally accredited US High School Diploma, a GPA Transcript & Mastery Transcript.

At Advanced Level (Grades 11 & 12), learners work towards the Extended Project Qualification (EPQ). Some learners who are considering more traditional university pathways choose to prepare for APs & SATs, though this is not a requirement for graduation from our school.

Absolutely! Our curriculum covers all of the core competencies learners need for English, Math & Science both at the Middle School and High School levels. Instead of learning these through rote-memorization and exams, our learners learn by tackling real-world challenges. For example, learners might learn Math by looking at space construction in Designing Space Habitats or Science by looking at ocean chemistry in Protecting our Oceans.

Our school community is global and diverse, with lots of opportunities for socialization. Our live workshops are designed to be highly interactive, with lots of group activities, discussions and collaboration. We also offer a range extracurricular clubs, including Crochet Club, Tech Club, Sustainability Club and many more.

Each year, we coordinate at in-person annual gathering bringing the online offline. In cities where we have multiple learners, we support with coordinating in-person community events, meet-ups and activities.

Yes! Our workshops are live and are highly interactive, taking place at fixed times four days a week and led by our Learning Facilitators. We don’t believe in lectures, so come ready to share your ideas, collaborate and have fun!

Absolutely not. All learners have three hours of live workshops every day, four days a week. We also leave time for creative flow and self-paced learning. All workshops are highly interactive and designed for connection and collaboration.
