    You can use WordPress to create almost any website, from blogs to stores and even online schools. However, if you want to start an online school with WordPress, you\u2019ll need to create virtual classrooms, hand out assignments, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    There are a lot of online learning tools and plugins<\/a> you can use to turn a WordPress website into a virtual school. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
    However, MemberPress <\/strong>completely simplifies this process. It lets you charge users to access online content and protect the materials you\u2019ve created for your students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    In this article, we\u2019ll go over the tools you need to start an online school. We\u2019ll also go through the steps to do it using WordPress. Let\u2019s get going!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    The Tools You\u2019ll Need<\/h2>\n\n\n\n $\"MemberPress$ <\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
    WordPress offers a lot of features out of the box. However, few of them are geared toward online learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Fortunately, it\u2019s pretty simple to add all the features you need to WordPress and transform it into an online learning platform. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Here are some tools to help you get started:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    \n
    MemberPress:<\/a><\/strong> Our plugin will be at the core of your online school. You can use it to protect content and create memberships that give users access to it. That means you can upload online courses, create student membership tiers, and select which users can access which lessons.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
    MemberPress Courses:<\/a><\/strong> This MemberPress add-on enables you to create online lessons using a visual builder. Lessons can include quizzes, assignments, and progress tracking. Plus, you\u2019re able to create certificates for students who complete your courses!
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
    myCred:<\/a><\/strong> This plugin lets you add gamification<\/a> to your website. You can give students points and rewards for completing tasks and milestones, which encourages them to try harder. Additionally, myCred integrates seamlessly with MemberPress<\/a>.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
    Discord integration:<\/strong> This tool is optional, but we recommend giving students access to online spaces where they can communicate with each other. These days, most people gravitate toward Discord, and it\u2019s a much more dynamic option for online classes.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
    Business Directory Plugin:<\/a><\/strong> This plugin lets you create a directory<\/a> with your online school\u2019s teachers and students. That way, everyone attending the school can learn more about and contact each other.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
    Keep in mind you don\u2019t need to use all <\/em>of these tools to start an online school<\/strong> with WordPress. For the school\u2019s core functions, you only need MemberPress and MemberPress Courses. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
    However, the more features you add to the lessons, the more engaging the learning experience becomes. Engaging content is essential if you plan to monetize your online school. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
    After all, as a private, for-profit school, you\u2019ll be competing with other learning institutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    But having access to the right features and tools isn\u2019t the only thing to consider when starting a website. You\u2019ll also need to design <\/em>it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
    If you use MemberPress, you\u2019ll also have access to the built-in ReadyLaunch\u2122<\/a> pagemaker. This tool helps you set up ready-to-go websites, including online schools, all included with your MemberPress license.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    $\"ReadyLaunch\u2122$ <\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
    <\/span>How to Start an Online School with WordPress (In 3 Steps)<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    In this tutorial, we\u2019ll guide you through figuring out the type of school you want to create. We\u2019ll also show you how to install MemberPress and WordPress and how to make your first course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Let\u2019s get to it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    <\/span>Step 1: Choose a Type of School<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
    Online schools can be in many different forms, or business models. These models vary depending on how students learn and whether you offer certifications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Here are a the three most common:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    \n
    Private accredited:<\/strong> This type of school offers some form of accreditation. The certificates prove that students completed the coursework, which should help them find jobs.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
    Non-accredited:<\/strong> These schools don\u2019t offer any accreditation. Students still get access to valuable materials and lessons, but they don\u2019t earn certificates for completing coursework.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
    Homeschool co-op style:<\/strong> This type of school focuses on providing learning materials but letting students self-manage. Students can collaborate, but they don\u2019t get access to teachers who are there to hold their hands.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
    Every single one of these learning models is completely valid. The best choice for you will depend on whether you can offer some type of accreditation and if you plan to act as a teacher (or hire instructors).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    The model you choose will also determine how much money you can make. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
    If you provide access to teachers or offer completion certificates, you\u2019ll be able to charge more than you could if students were to take the materials and learn them independently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    MemberPress Site Example<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
    If you\u2019re looking for inspiration, you might want to check out the Marketing and Communications Association for Schools<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n
    \n
    $\"An$ <\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
    This online school offers marketing and communications training programs for teachers. It also uses MemberPress to create paid memberships and paywall its learning materials. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
    <\/span>Step 2: Install WordPress and MemberPress<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
    Installing WordPress is the easiest part of this process. In fact, many web hosts will automatically install the CMS for you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Bluehost<\/a> is a great example. Its budget hosting shared plans include an automatic WordPress installation while you\u2019re setting up your account:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    $\"Bluehost$ <\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
    If your web host doesn\u2019t offer this option, you can install WordPress manually<\/a>. When your site is up and running, you\u2019ll need to install the MemberPress plugin:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    \n
    <\/iframe><\/div><\/span>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first thing you\u2019ll want to do after installing MemberPress is learn how to create memberships. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The tutorial video below will show you how that process works:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<span class=\"Dt2rnEXLE4JlSG8a9VxOgjI7ckB2HYrug19s1dbndNMQh3CUtLoPpNG8lvf5HbViWyTmBJAAmWeUoYDwXZx\"><div class=\"responsive-video\"><iframe title=\"How to Create and Sell Memberships w\/ MemberPress\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/AnZer6Sj2Wo?feature=oembed&enablejsapi=1\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div><\/span>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Memberships are essential to protecting and restricting your online courses to paying students. You can even choose to create free memberships if you wish. Additionally, our plugin can help you set up one-time or <a href=\"https:\/\/memberpress.com\/blog\/recurring-revenue-businesses\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">recurring memberships<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_3_Install_MemberPress_Courses_and_Create_a_Course\"><\/span>Step 3: Install MemberPress Courses and Create a Course<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have a MemberPress license, you can install add-ons from the WordPress dashboard. <a href=\"https:\/\/memberpress.com\/blog\/sell-courses-on-wordpress\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">MemberPress Courses<\/a> is an add-on included with all plans. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Go to <em>MemberPress > Add-ons <\/em>and select the MemberPress Courses option. Once the add-on is ready, go ahead and <a href=\"https:\/\/memberpress.com\/blog\/sell-courses-on-wordpress\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"create your first course\">create your first course<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<span class=\"NX1cuip9xfFP2dH73AeY54zhDvVotEIMbyn8KCwQ6jmls\"><div class=\"responsive-video\"><iframe title=\"How to Create a Course in MemberPress Courses (Full Tutorial)\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/PoCLmJ4Sfnw?feature=oembed&enablejsapi=1\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div><\/span>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Incorporating Certificates:<\/strong> One of the standout features of MemberPress Courses is the ability to issue certificates to students on course completion. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the evolving nature of online education, it\u2019s essential to provide students with tangible proof of their achievements. Certificates not only validate their efforts but also enhance their professional credibility. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<span class=\"AeJhl1NdSmM7f9tBiQH2Yayu3UGpqDzkgcsj0CPb5TFOILXRVx4Kv6rn8\"><div class=\"responsive-video\"><iframe title=\"How to Offer Certificates w\/ MemberPress Courses (+ BOOST Course Sales!)\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/BBajlMFf9UE?feature=oembed&enablejsapi=1\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div><\/span>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">WATCH >>> How TO OFFER A CERTIFICATE on YOUR MEMBERPRESS COURSES<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Furthermore, with MemberPress, you have the flexibility to set start and end dates for these certificates. This helps ensure that students stay updated with the latest content or retake the course after a certain period. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This feature is particularly useful in fields where knowledge is continuously evolving and expanding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ad-56901\" class=\"ad-720x300 adsanity-720x300 alignnone adsanity-alignnone\"><div class=\"adsanity-inner\">\n\n<a href=\"https:\/\/memberpress.com\/de\/ads\/post-mp-courses-certficates-update\/\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"720\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/memberpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Adsanity-Certificates-Update.jpg\" class=\"no-lazy-load wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/memberpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Adsanity-Certificates-Update.jpg 720w, https:\/\/memberpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Adsanity-Certificates-Update-300x125.jpg 300w, https:\/\/memberpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Adsanity-Certificates-Update-408x170.jpg 408w, https:\/\/memberpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Adsanity-Certificates-Update-700x292.jpg 700w, https:\/\/memberpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Adsanity-Certificates-Update-156x65.jpg 156w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\"><\/a>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<p>We recommend also checking out this tutorial on creating quizzes for your online school.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Quizzes will help you add interactivity and challenge students on the materials they\u2019re learning.
