Placement Guidelines

Filling online classes is challenging for the registrar. We seek to populate our classes with students who can work at similar learning levels and who are interested in studying the course materials. Therefore we have developed the following guidelines for our courses:

Dialectic courses are open to students ages 12–14 as of August 1st.

Rhetoric-Lite courses are open to students age 14 and above as of August 1st.

Rhetoric courses are open to students age 14 and above as of August 1st.

We understand that students are at different academic and maturity levels. If you would like an exception to the enrollment guidelines stated above please contact LLC with the reason for your request. You will be contacted with a request for the following:

1. A written recommendation from a former or current academic teacher who can attest to the student's ability to participate in a rigorous academic setting.
2. Two of the following:
   • Book list from the previous academic year
   • Transcript
   • An essay from the previous academic year

You will be notified of our decision within two weeks of your request.
