About Saint Leo School
Saint Leo School is an independent private school in the Catholic tradition serving students in grades 5–12. Our small, fully asynchronous online program combines the flexibility of learning from home with the structure and accountability of a private school. Saint Leo provides individualized course placement, academic oversight, grading, quarterly report cards, permanent academic records, and high-school credits and transcripts where applicable.
Our program is grounded in the Catholic faith and intellectual tradition and is guided by educators with decades of experience leading schools and teaching thousands of students. Saint Leo is pursuing recognized private-school accreditation, with the goal of completing initial accreditation by spring 2027.

The Saint Leo Program
Flexible Online Learning
Students complete their coursework asynchronously, allowing families flexibility in organizing the school day while maintaining clear academic expectations and consistent progress.
Academic Accountability
Saint Leo establishes each student’s course of study, monitors progress, records official grades, issues quarterly report cards, and maintains permanent academic records and high-school transcripts where applicable.
Catholic Formation
Catholic faith and formation permeate the Saint Leo curriculum. Religion and theology are required, and academic subjects are approached within the Catholic intellectual tradition.
Curriculum
Saint Leo students follow a complete, academically serious course of study using established curricula delivered through recorded online instruction. Courses include video lessons, assigned readings, written work, quizzes, and assessments. Saint Leo selects and oversees each student’s program and maintains the student’s grades and academic records.
Religion
Traditional Catholic catechesis and theology, including the Baltimore Catechism, study of the Mass, apologetics, Scripture, and Catholic doctrine.
Mathematics
Saxon Mathematics, with students placed according to previous coursework and demonstrated readiness.
Literature
Close reading of enduring works of Western literature, progressing from accessible classics in the middle grades to major works of epic, drama, poetry, and fiction in high school. Course offerings include works by authors such as Homer, Shakespeare, Austen, Dickens, Tolkien, and C. S. Lewis, with literary study approached from a Catholic understanding of the human person.
Writing & Grammar
Systematic instruction in grammar, sentence and paragraph construction, composition, and increasingly sophisticated written expression.
History
Chronological study of Western and world history from a Catholic perspective, including ancient, medieval, and modern history.
Science
Grade-appropriate study of life, earth, and physical sciences, progressing to high-school laboratory sciences.
Latin
A sequential Latin program using Ecce Romani, with placement based on previous Latin study.
Because Saint Leo is intentionally small during its inaugural year, individual course placement can be adjusted to account for a student’s previous coursework, particularly in mathematics and Latin.
