The Schola is a quarterly journal of humanities and social sciences essays written by high school students worldwide. As the only publication of academic work in the comprehensive international high school curriculum, we offer high school students everywhere a singular forum to develop intellectual promise. The content in our archives combines original, high-quality scholastic work with a systematic program of academic resources for students, teachers, and a broad audience.

A learning experience with The Schola goes far beyond manuscript submission. By submitting an essay to the journal, a student gains experience in academic publishing – presenting interesting ideas and research findings to a publisher, receiving editorial feedback, and editing the manuscript. Each student gains a rigorous, personalized academic experience through the editorial process. Students who have published with us already established publication records while improving their understanding of the publication process.

The Schola sets a global standard for academic excellence. Writing an essay for the journal demands considerable commitment and hard work. Most of the former authors have gone to leading universities around the world. Though college admission is not our goal, we believe it demonstrates an aspect of the rich educational experience we offer. While primarily an academic journal, we promote learning for life and encourage young students to think critically about important issues in the social, political, and moral spheres of life.
