Live Online Semester Courses

Our faculty teach real-time, semester-long courses online, a wonderful opportunity to learn in a live environment with a teacher present to answer your questions. Videos of the classes are recorded and made available on our online campus in case you miss a class or are unable to attend live. Each class concludes with a celebratory exam, which is aimed at helping you to check your understanding of the material and receive feedback from your teacher. These exams are required if you would like to request a Nitartha Institute certificate of completion, seek academic credit at other institutions or wish to enter the teacher-in-training program.
