Designed by professors.
Led by facilitators.
Carried by your cohort.
Three parts, each doing what it does best — and together, an American education that stays free without cutting corners.
Professors design
Credentialed professors build every course: the content, the weekly exercises, the assessments, the grading rubrics. A course is designed once, superbly — then delivered many times, consistently.
Facilitators lead
A trained facilitator runs your cohort's weekly rhythm — sessions, discussion, homework, feedback — and works with students whose circumstances interrupt them. That is not a compromise; it is the design.
Your cohort carries you
You enrol into a start date and move through the program with a class that knows your name. Education is social — no one here studies alone.
A week at Saint Cyril
Sessions
Your cohort meets through the week, led by your facilitator, working through material the professors designed. Sessions and materials are downloadable — an interrupted connection costs you an evening, not the week.
Exercises & homework
Between sessions you practise: structured exercises and problem sets, written by the professors, checked by your facilitator, building toward each course's graded work.
Assessment & feedback
Graded assignments and examinations, with feedback, verify what you have learned. Grades and transcripts are issued by the registrar in English and Arabic.
Common questions
Is it really free?
The academic program is tuition-free. Every fee that ever exists — if any — will be published in full and in advance before anyone enrols.
Who teaches my courses?
Courses are designed by credentialed professors. Your cohort is led by a trained facilitator who runs the weekly sessions and supports you through the course.
What if my internet fails or my week collapses?
Materials download in advance and sessions are designed for low bandwidth. This university was designed for exactly the student whose week sometimes collapses.
Is the degree accredited?
No — and we say so plainly everywhere until the day that changes. We are building toward accreditation and publish our progress honestly, including setbacks. Read the disclosure on the admissions page before investing your time.
Do I need perfect English to start?
You need enough English to study an American curriculum — and professional English development is built into every degree, bilingually with Arabic, so your English grows as you study.
