HYBRID

In a hybrid model, our tutors and directors support parents in the education of their children. Modeled after university-style instruction, students complete assignments at home and meet twice weekly to discuss and enjoy material in class.  

Co-educators

STCA exists to support parents in the home education of their children. At St. Thomas, your child will be part of a comprehensive, classical educational program, which includes two days of classroom instruction and lesson plans, reading and skill work to complete at home. STCA offers parents and tutors training that covers the vision of the program, curriculum, expectations, and communication.

Students work together to create a diorama of the Hanging Gardens of Babylon in art class. The curriculum at STCA works in cycle, so children encounter one era -Ancient, Medieval, or Modern - across disciplines and ages.

Academic Days

Students attend St. Thomas Classical Academy on Tuesday and Thursday beginning with Mass at 8:15 am. After beginning our day in prayer, the entire academy meets for a short assembly. Then students and tutors meet in their respective classrooms to explore the written and spoken word, as well as the natural world. Breaks are built into the day so that children can exercise their bodies and build friendships.

Home Days

Designed with the needs of homeschool families in mind, home days will look slightly different for every family. Families receive a syllabus at the beginning of the year outlining a course of study for each level, including in-class and at-home work. In addition, tutors send home assignment sheets and provide a summary of material covered in class. During home days, families read content books the whole family can enjoy. Each student will read additional age-appropriate living books and complete skill work.
