St. Thomas Aquinas Academy

Stay away from this so-​called academy if you are homeschooling your children. This small two person operation is supposed to help design your curricula, keep records and give you a transcript. They are almost impossible to get in touch with. They want you to either contact them online — to which they NEVER respond or you have to call and make an ‘appointment’ to talk to someone. IF one of the two women working in this tiny office calls you back, they do so from home with the dog barking in the background! They are in a tiny office suite yet the receptionist claims to not even know how many ‘academic advisors they have working there! (ONE) .
Unfortunately, we enrolled our son there for 9^th grade thinking they would work with us to keep records and a transcript. He’s completed all of his 9^th grade work they gave us and he even accelerated in a couple of subjects and finished the entire year in ½ year but they said they can only count that as ½ years worth of work! It was the entire years curriculum for the subject completed in ½ the time — most schools call that an AP or honors class!
The worse part is spending thousands of dollars, we still have no transcripts! They keep saying that they need more work samples or they misplaced what we gave them or they need more details about phys ed class! We’ve sent 51 pages of work samples, tests etc. and we haven’t heard back from them in MONTHS — except when we get a bill saying we owe another $ 8 for the per-​page charge when you upload your documents on their website!
They will give you a curricula alright — but after that, good luck getting them to respond or ever getting your transcript. I’ll be sure to let everyone know how this tiny, unprofessional organization works. I am now spending more money on a lawyer who is contacting them to either get every penny back or get a transcript that I paid for. I’m working on a website detailing all the delays, excuses and frustrations I got from St. Thomas Aquinas Academy so other parents don’t waste any of their children’s education money.
