Understanding CLAA's fee structure

  1. Choose your enrollment option For subscription plans ($25−250 per month), all study materials are included online with no additional fees required. For individual course purchases ($50 per course), all digital materials are included in the course price.

  2. Review what's included in your enrollment All CLAA enrollments include online study materials, quizzes, assignments, grading, record-keeping, and basic support. No expensive textbooks, workbooks, or curriculum packages are required for purchase.

  3. Understand textbook requirements Very few CLAA courses require any physical books at all. When books are needed, they are single classic texts that students keep for life. Most required texts are available as free public domain resources online.

  4. Access free supplementary materials Worksheets and additional resources are available free online to enrolled families. Families can print or copy materials as needed at no additional cost. The CLAA library provides free access to many classical texts and resources.

  5. Consider optional services 60-minute consultation sessions are available for $250 but are completely optional. All basic support is provided free through email, phone, and live chat.

Important: Unlike many educational programs that require expensive textbook purchases, curriculum packages, or additional materials, the CLAA operates on the principle that education should be affordable and accessible to all Catholic families.

Note: The Academy provides full financial aid to any family that requests it, and no family is ever turned away for financial reasons.
