We strive to inspire students to think critically about the integration of their faith and worldview into every aspect of their lives.
Our approach involves a simple framework of the three main biblical themes of creation, fall, and redemption which allows us to develop our diverse course offerings with the greatest degree of flexibility while avoiding firm ideological, theological, and denominational conclusions on sensitive, ancillary issues.
COURSE SELECTION
Our ever-expanding catalog of over 200 biblically integrated courses includes full sequencing options for elementary, middle, and high school students. Offerings include core, elective, honors, AP® level courses, dual enrollment, and credit recovery options to support diverse student needs.
Instructors
Courses are facilitated by subject-certified teachers who are professing Christians and experts in their disciplines. As a minimum, each holds a bachelor’s degree from an accredited college or university and a valid educator’s license from either a state authority or the Association of Christian Schools International. This ensures alignment with your school’s Christian focus, while also offering the flexibility to customize instruction by utilizing your own teachers if preferred.
Flexibile Online Learning Experience
With rolling enrollments, schools can offer courses that start any Monday, accommodating students from anywhere in the world. Our asynchronous model allows students to complete coursework at times and paces that best fit your school’s schedule. Our academic policies promote a growth mindset and encourage content mastery to support student success.

teaching student discernment and biblical application
Sevenstar has an exceptional faculty with subject-certified instructors who care deeply about cultivating students in the Christian faith. 60% of our instructors have earned a master’s degree or higher.

Schools choosing a custom partnership may also utilize their own qualified instructors, allowing for added flexibility while maintaining academic and faith-based integrity.
Biblical Integration
teaching student discernment and biblical application
At Sevenstar, we understand how vital it is for schools to integrate a biblical worldview throughout education. Our curriculum weaves Christian faith into every subject, empowering your students to approach learning through the lens of God’s truth and to live with a deep reverence for Him.
We do this by weaving three key biblical themes throughout our courses:
- Creation: We explore the original, God-intended purpose of each topic or concept – how it was designed to function in a perfect world.
- Fall: We identify how sin has distorted these ideas or practices, leading to brokenness or misuse.
- Redemption: We consider how these ideas can be restored to reflect God’s design and used for His glory.
Sevenstar courses intentionally incorporate these themes using diverse learning and assessment strategies. We guide students in applying biblical principles, discerning truth, and engaging in faithful, thoughtful reflection throughout their studies.
Dual Enrollment Program
Dual Credits
Our dual credit program enables schools to offer students the opportunity to earn high school and college credits simultaneously—without compromising the biblical worldview central to a Christian education. With research showing that over one-third of high school students now pursue post-secondary credits before graduation, this program provides an affordable pathway for your students to gain college credit, qualify for scholarships, and explore Christian higher education options.
Step-by-Step Dual Credit Process
- Courses are ordered and paid for through Sevenstar's systems.
- Sevenstar will facilitate enrollment into the program of choice.
- Students will complete their coursework through the institution chosen.
- Grades are reported back to Sevenstar and we will record those in our system, awarding 1 credit of high school credit in addition to the 3 or 4 credit hours earned at the college.
- The college or university will provide students with instructions to request official transcripts for transferring to the college of choice upon graduation.
AP® Credits
Advanced Placement® Program
Many nontraditional students seek Advanced Placement® (AP®) opportunities to enhance their academic profiles. Sevenstar partners with schools to offer a range of College Board®–approved AP® courses, providing rigorous preparation that equips students to successfully take the corresponding exams. This is a great way for schools to expand and enrich their academic programs, offering more options and challenges to students without adding to staff workload.
While Sevenstar does not administer AP® exams directly, students completing our AP® courses can register to take the exams through their local school district or testing center, allowing your school to support students in earning college credit.
