Academics
One Schoolhouse
Mount Saint Mary Academy is a proud member of the One Schoolhouse Consortium. Originally named Online School for Girls, One Schoolhouse was the first independent online school in the world. Over the years they have added an all-genders division to their personalized, competency-based, and learner-driven program. In the tradition of independent schools, One Schoolhouse values small class sizes, individualized attention, and high academic standards. The Mount and One Schoolhouse share a commitment to girls education and as a result, provide an academic environment that reflects the way girls learn while promoting self-confidence and high achievement.
The Mount is excited to offer online classes from One Schoolhouse. The Academy is committed to providing students with resources that remain on the cutting edge in order to best prepare them for the next stages of their academic journey and beyond. The engaging and challenging coursework of One Schoolhouse as well as the overall experience of completing academic work through this very modern medium will be great assets to our students.

One Schoolhouse Participation Policy
All students, regardless of grade level, are permitted to take a class through One Schoolhouse; however, freshmen are strongly advised to not take an online course.
Online courses will be given course credit and factored into the GPA by the Academy only under the following conditions:
I. The course is taken during the academic year, September through May, so the class can be supervised by school personnel. Summer One Schoolhouse courses will not receive course credit and will not be factored into the GPA.
II. The student agrees to participate in the course during school hours while under the supervision of a member of the Academy faculty or administration.
III. The Academy does not offer the course.
IV. The Academy offers the course, but the student is unable to take it due to a scheduling conflict.
V. Only one full year or two half-year classes will be given credit per academic year, i.e. only an 8th course may receive credit. A 9th course will count as an independent study and will not qualify for Academy credit.
VI. Course weight (AP/Honors/College Prep) is determined by One Schoolhouse and will be reflected on the student’s transcript.
A minimum of 130 course credits taken at Mount Saint Mary Academy are required for graduation. Students may not take online classes in order to graduate in three years.
In all cases the cost of the One Schoolhouse course and all associated material fees will be paid by the student and her family. Please visit the One Schoolhouse Tuition and Policies page for pricing information.
