Saylor Academy

Saylor Academy is a nonprofit that makes a wide range of self-paced, college-style online courses free to anyone with internet access. High schoolers and adults can work through video lectures, readings, and assessments in subjects like business, computer science, and general education, with some courses offering low-cost proctored exams or transfer-credit options through partner schools. Families appreciate the no-tuition model and the ability to sample serious coursework before committing to college classes. Because it’s self-paced and lightly supported, Saylor works best for motivated, independent learners who don’t need frequent check-ins.
