Royal Fireworks Online Learning is the only place where students can study language arts with Michael Clay Thompson, one of the most celebrated language arts curriculum authors in the world. Michael’s methods have shaped generations of gifted and exceptional students around the globe, and with spring semester right around the corner, there’s no better way to launch the new year than to have your child study under his outstanding guidance!

He’s an inspirational master craftsman of language whose live online courses offer students the extraordinary opportunity to learn directly from the man who set the gold standard in English language arts curricula. In his classes, students do more than learn language arts; they cultivate expansive thinking, insight, and a profound love of language, developing the analytical rigor, eloquence, and scholarly sophistication that distinguish future Ivy League scholars, accomplished academics, and lifelong connoisseurs of words.

These courses are now in their second semester, but students can catch up on previous lessons with recordings that are available all year long.

Course Highlights:

• Receive direct instruction from Michael Clay Thompson himself.
• Develop a deep understanding of English grammar, vocabulary, writing, and poetics.
• Explore timeless classic literature and poetry.
• Participate in engaging, highly interactive sessions that inspire a love of language.

All seven levels of the main MCT curriculum are available as courses. In addition, this year Michael is also teaching two levels offered exclusively through Royal Fireworks Online Learning: Level 9: The 19th-Century English Novel and Level 10: Shakespeare: The Complete Sonnets, both of which are available by permission only. Plus, Michael is also offering a course in world cultural geography and leading a chess club! Details on all of his courses can be found at by clicking here.
