The Classical Liberal Arts Academy offers flexible and affordable study programs for families around the world.  Enrollment is controlled to ensure that our Admission Requirements are met by all prospective students.


While we do not offer study programs based on age or grade level, it may be helpful to consider how the CLAA serves students entering at various stages with different goals. 

 

I.  PETTY SCHOOL STUDENTS


 

Young children who are not yet ready to begin Catechism, Grammar and Arithmetic should begin in the CLAA Petty  School.  This is the classical equivalent of pre-school for students whose parents intend for them to study the classical liberal art with the CLAA.  Read more.

 

Example

Mary is 4 years old whose parents plan to enroll her in the CLAA, but she is not yet able to read or write.  Mary would be enrolled as an Academy Student.

 

II.  ACADEMY STUDENTS


 

Families seeking to provide their children with a complete classical liberal arts education must get an early start.  The CLAA Standard program provides the full course of instruction to students who diligently study throughout their school years.

 

Example

David is 8 years old and will be home-schooled by his parents.  His parents intend for him to study through the CLAA for the next 10 years and complete the full classical liberal arts program.  David would be enrolled as an Academy Student.

 

III.  EXTERN STUDENTS



Students studying in another school or study program but interested in individual courses may enroll in our Extern Program.  Extern students are not considered Academy students, but receive whatever  instruction and benefits as apply to the course(s) in which they are enrolled.   Extern students receive documentation for each course completed, but will not be recognized as graduates of the Classical Liberal Arts Academy.

 

Example

Peter is 16 years old Catholic school student whose parents would like to him to study classical Rhetoric through the CLAA.  Peter would enroll as an extern student.

 

GETTING STARTED


Studying with the CLAA is really very simple.  There are three basic streams that are studied:  Religion, Communication and Mathematics.  Students begin at step one in each of these streams and then make their way up through the classical liberal arts.

For a detailed explanation, we recommend our article:  "Where Do We Begin?"

 

ENROLLMENT COSTS


Every normal course* in the CLAA costs $125.00 per student.  There are no other fees or charges to worry about.  One course...one fee.  That's it.  Enrollment may be paid at once or using one of our monthly payment plans.

*Our Petty School Writing course and future enrichment courses cost less than $125.

 

FINANCIAL AID


Christian education is not a business by which individuals should profit, but a duty in which Christian adults labor together to raise children in wisdom and build strong families that glorify the Lord.

The Classical Liberal Arts Academy is fully available to all families regardless of their financial circumstances.  We make our program affordable for every family by:

  • We offer every family a 3, 6 or 10-month payment plan without any fees or interest.
  • We offer reduced/free tuition to families unable to afford enrollment using our 10 month payment plan.

At the time of enrollment, simply select the "Financial Help" option and we will take it from there.
