Download the
PRINTABLE BROCHURE and skip to
the "Course Catalogue" section
for a list of courses that are
currently offered and the
enrollment fees for each option.
The fees
cover the costs of enrollment
and the course materials (GLAC
Guides, shipping, and access to
web-enhancements). Books
are purchased separately
from our recommended or your
favorite suppliers.
Each semester consists of two
preparatory school weeks and sixteen
academic school weeks. We
suggest enrolling in the GLAC or
ordering your course guides one to
three weeks before you wish to start
the courses. Typically, it
will take just under five calendar
months to complete a semester.
The guides include daily lessons
plans and due days for assignments,
but you select your own start dates
for the courses. The courses
are open from August 1st until June
30th.
Enrolling after mid-February is
discouraged since it will be
extremely challenging to complete
the entire semester plan before June
30th.
A refund may be requested in writing
prior to the withdrawal date.
There are no refunds of course fees
after the withdrawal date (14 days
after the start of the course). The
first $25.00 of the course fees –
a.k.a. the cost of the guide and
activation of the web-enhancements –
for each course are non-refundable
even prior to the withdrawal date. Refund requests should
be mailed or faxed to the GLAC Office. Be sure to clearly print your
student's name, Student ID#, and the course(s) he or she is withdrawing
from.

We offer the courses in semester
increments so you may spread the
enrollment costs out for your school
year. Course fees are paid in full
at the time of enrollment by VISA,
MasterCard, Discover, check, or
money order.
Correspondence
between teaching-parents/students,
and advisors primarily takes place
through the GLAC support site forum.
If
you would like to speak with a
lead/coordinating advisor from
St. Thomas Aquinas Academy's Guided
Liberal Arts Courses department
before or after enrolling in the GLAC, simply go to the following
appointment scheduling webpage --
https://my.timedriver.com/1K23R
-- to arrange a time for an advisor to call and discuss your
questions.
The GLA courses are correspondence
courses for homeschool students that
are intended for independent study
and supported and/or graded by
advisors experienced with the
course material. The main
features of the courses are the course guide, graded
weekly online quizzes, and access to
the support website forum should the
student or teaching-parent have
questions. To
participate in the course, the
student needs the course guide and
at least weekly access to the
support website in order to take
quizzes and ask any questions of the
advisors. There are no set class meeting times
by chat, teleconference, or
otherwise, so you and your child
bound are only to your own weekly school
schedule--not the course's.
Q.
How can I help support the Guided
Liberal Arts department of St.
Thomas Aquinas Academy?
A.
First and foremost, please remember
the work of the Guided Liberal Arts
department and St. Thomas Aquinas
Academy in your prayers.
Financial support for the GLAC can
be made in the form of either a
non-tax deductable donation
addressed to "St. Thomas Aquinas
Academy" (please add a note
indicating you would like to direct
the donation to the GLAC department)
or starting from the links on our
website to do any of your
shopping from Amazon.com.
Amazon sends a small percentage of
every purchase to us, and we are
very grateful since we find that
even a small percentage of your
Amazon orders is a significant help
in funding our research,
development, and staffing.
Finally, the GLA courses are open to
all high school students, not just
students enrolled in STAA's academic
planning services. Directing
your friends and family members to
the GLAC section of our website is
always appreciated!
Thank you for thinking of us and
thank you for your support!
