A School That Forms the Whole Person

The Calling of Saint Matthew by Caravaggio, 1600 — Christ calling Matthew from his counting table — Caravaggio · *The Calling of Saint Matthew* · 1600

Virtualis is not simply another online school. It is a Christian classical academy rooted in the Catholic intellectual tradition, uniting the Great Hearts liberal arts curriculum with the care of the whole human person — body, mind, and soul.

Enrolled families may qualify for telemedicine pediatric care through Vitae Health (opens in new tab). The Vitae Formation Program — ready for 2026–27 — will integrate physical education, Christian bioethics, and the theology of the body into the academic experience.

This is the education the Christian classical tradition has always understood: faith and reason, virtue and knowledge, ordered toward the glory of God. When a family chooses this path, they are joining a conversation that stretches from Athens through Jerusalem through Rome into Christendom and into your own home. The curriculum is rigorous, but the aim is older than any curriculum: the formation of a human being who can think clearly, feel deeply, judge rightly, and love what is worthy of love.

Admissions are rolling, applications are reviewed within one business day, and the path from inquiry to welcome letter is short. What follows are the four steps of that path.

A Proven Classical Curriculum

Virtualis families receive the full Great Hearts academic experience — live and asynchronous instruction in the liberal arts, sciences, and humanities — delivered by trained classical educators through a model refined across thirty brick-and-mortar academies. The curriculum is Socratic rather than lecture-based, rooted in primary sources rather than textbook summaries, and ordered toward the classical ideal of a student who reads well, writes well, reasons well, and loves what is true.

What Virtualis adds is the formation dimension that no other online school provides: a community rooted in faith, integrated telemedicine through Vitae Health (opens in new tab), and — ready for 2026–27 — the Vitae Formation Program for the body and soul alongside the mind. This is the Great Hearts curriculum that thousands of families already trust, layered with the Christian formation and medical care that the online version of Great Hearts cannot by itself provide.

When parents choose Virtualis, they are not choosing against Great Hearts — they are choosing Great Hearts and the things Great Hearts Online, as a charter-compliance program, cannot explicitly give: the name of Christ, the sacramental worldview as a reference point, and the body treated as a temple rather than as an afterthought.

Adoration of the Magi by Bonifacio de Pitati, c. 1540 — three kings arriving with gifts at the stable — Bonifacio de’ Pitati · *Adoration of the Magi* · c. 1540 · Virtualis welcomes families from every tradition into the same classical inheritance.

Let the children come to me, and do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of heaven.

— Matthew 19:14
