Partnership
The Virtualis Partnership
“Trivium, Quadrivium, Quintivium.”Classical academics joined with Christian formation in virtue and health.
Virtualis is a classical Christian online academy. Vitae Catholica is a Christian nonprofit serving children and families through faith-based formation in virtue and health — with a preferential option for the poor. Two separate nonprofits, cooperating to bring the Quintivium curriculum, Theology of the Body, and Natural Family Planning resources into Virtualis classrooms and into the homes of families who need them.

A Note from the Curator
The medieval university — Paris, Bologna, Oxford, Salamanca — did not separate the formation of the mind from the formation of the body and soul. The same students walked between the Trivium, the Quadrivium, and the lecture hall of the Ars Medica, and the same bishop presided over all of them. The Virtualis–Vitae partnership is the recovery of that arrangement in digital form: a classical academy joined to a Catholic formation in virtue and health.
Movement I · The Two Nonprofits
A Diptych
Two panels of the same altarpiece. Each complete on its own; together they form a common Catholic argument about the formation of the person.

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

Forms Virtue and Health
The person as imago Dei: the Quintivium, Theology of the Body, Natural Family Planning, and free consultations for families in need.
Movement II · For the Family
What Vitae Brings to the Family
Catholic formation in virtue and health, woven into the Virtualis classroom and offered freely to families who need it most.
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
Receive Vitae Formation
The Quintivium K–12 health-formation curriculum, Theology of the Body, and Natural Family Planning resources are offered to Virtualis classrooms as core formation — equal in stature to mathematics and English. One class on your child's schedule.
Step III
Free Consultations for Families in Need
Vitae Catholica offers free formation consultations to families who need them — a preferential option for the poor. Open to any Christian family, whether or not your child attends Virtualis.
The Quintivium, Theology of the Body, and Natural Family Planning resources are also available to homeschool families and other Christian schools beyond Virtualis. A separate, affiliated Christian telemedicine service is offered by Rodriguez Corporation for families seeking clinical care; it is for-profit, not part of the nonprofit, and not tax-deductible.
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, Inc.
Arizona Catholic 501(c)(3) nonprofit. Quintivium K–12 health formation curriculum, Theology of the Body, Natural Family Planning resources, and free formation consultations for families in need. Led by Prof. Dana Rodriguez, PhD.
EIN 33-4579578
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 Catholica = Virtualis” or “Vitae Catholica = VCA,” you have heard wrong. Vitae Catholica is its own Catholic nonprofit, in partnership with a classical academy, serving Christian families — especially those who need it most — without pretending to be the same institution. A separate, affiliated Christian telemedicine service is offered by Rodriguez Corporation, a for-profit S-Corp; it is not part of the nonprofit and is not tax-deductible.
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
