Partnership
Two Schools, One Child
“Trivium, Quadrivium, Quintivium.”The three great teachings of the classical liberal arts, reunited under one household.
Virtualis is a classical Christian online academy. Vitae Catholica is a Christian school of health and formation. They are two separate nonprofits — and they hold hands over the same child, because a Christian education has always been one project.

A Note from the Curator
The medieval university — Paris, Bologna, Oxford, Salamanca — did not make the mistake of separating academics from medicine. It taught the Trivium and Quadrivium in one school and the Ars Medica in another, with the same students walking between them and the same bishop presiding over both. The Virtualis–Vitae partnership is the recovery of that arrangement in digital form: one household, two schools, one child.

A Diptych

Panel I · Sinistra
Virtualis
Academia · Classical Christian K–12 online academy

Panel II · Dextra
Vitae Catholica
Schola Medica · Christian clinic & K–12 health formation

Teaches the Mind
Language, logic, rhetoric, mathematics, music, literature, history, the sciences — inside a Christian classical frame.

Tends the Body
The body as imago Dei: health formation, clinical care, Catholic bioethics, daily regimen sanitatis.
Movement II · For the Family
What This Looks Like for Your Child
Two schools, one enrollment conversation with each — and a single shared anthropology of the person.
Step I
Enroll at Virtualis
Your child enrolls at the Virtualis campus for your state (Arizona or Wisconsin). Tuition or school-choice program covers classical academics — Latin, rhetoric, Great Books, live Socratic instruction.
Step II
Meet Vitae at the Clinic
You book a consultation with Vitae's telemedicine clinic — for a wellness visit, a developmental assessment, parent coaching, or a specific clinical question. Sliding-fee, no subscription.
Step III
Receive the Curriculum (When It Launches)
On launch, Vitae Formation — anchored by the Quintivium — becomes a required core subject at every Virtualis campus, equal in stature to mathematics and English. One class on your child's schedule.
You can also come to Vitae without enrolling in Virtualis — the clinic sees any Christian family in Arizona or Wisconsin. And the Quintivium, when it launches, will be available as a standalone curriculum for homeschool families and other Christian schools.
From the Letter to the Ephesians
“And his gifts were that some should be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, some pastors and teachers, for the equipment of the saints, for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ, until we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to mature manhood, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ.”
Ephesians 4:11–13 · RSV-CE
Movement III · The Clarification
Three Organizations, Never One
We take the legal and ecclesial distinctions seriously. Three nonprofits cooperate around a common vision, but they are separate in governance, finance, and mission. We name them so no one is confused.
Virtualis Education Corp
Wisconsin nonprofit. K–12 classical Christian online academy. Operates campuses in Arizona and Wisconsin.
EIN 33-4335391
Vitae Catholica
Arizona nonprofit. Live Christian telemedicine and K–12 health formation curriculum. Led by Prof. Dana Rodriguez, PhD.
Victory Christian Academy
Wisconsin private K–12 school (Milwaukee). Separate 501(c)(3). Virtualis manages VCA's online program under contract.
EIN 35-1901126
The partnership is real and the distinction is real. If you hear “Vitae = Virtualis” or “Vitae = VCA,” you have heard wrong. Vitae is its own school of health, entered into partnership with a school of academics, to serve the same child without pretending to be the same institution.
From “Pied Beauty”
All things counter, original, spáre, stránge;
Whatever is fickle, fréckled (who knows how?)
With swíft, slów; sweet, sour; adázzle, dím;
He fathers-forth whose beauty is pást change:
Práise him.
Gerard Manley Hopkins, SJ · 1877
