About the Transcript Option

The Semester Reporting for Transcripts Option is an option that you may add to the enrollment of any of your students who are in Grades 7 through 12.  To develop a transcript with St. Thomas Aquinas Academy, the student and teaching-parent will be asked to submit a reporting packet to the academy at the end of each semester (two per year). This process is carefully explained, but do expect to prepare two packets of work samples along with a few forms each school year.  Essentially, students upload one or two quarterly work samples for each course through the STAA Student Zone after their teaching-parents grade the assignments.  The work samples are reviewed by the STAA staff and retained as part of the student's semester reporting packet.  Teaching-parents then submit a final report of grades and progress on a Semester Report Form as the final part of the semester reporting packet so an official transcript can be issued by St. Thomas Aquinas Academy.

Students taking high school courses through St. Thomas Aquinas Academy may choose a graduation path that best meets their needs:

1. STAA Transcript and STAA Diploma: Studying STAA courses with the intention of earning an STAA diploma
   Students electing this option need to add the Transcript Option program to their enrollment each year of high school as well as arrange to transfer any high school credits from other institutions to St. Thomas Aquinas Academy.
   
   
2. STAA Transcript Only: Studying STAA courses to develop a transcript with the academy but drawing a diploma from another source such as their own homeschool (teaching-parent issued or homeschool co-op issued)
   Students electing this option need to add the Transcript Option to their enrollment each year.
   
   
3. No STAA Transcript and No STAA Diploma: Studying STAA courses and maintaining their own transcript within their homeschool or with another institution and NOT drawing a diploma from STAA
   The Transcript Option program is not necessary for students on this path.

More Information

The semester reporting process is outlined on the STAA Diploma Program page.  Starting the 2024-2025 school year, the semester reporting process became a paperless process and is now completed entirely through the STAA Student Zone, St. Thomas Aquinas Academy's member support site.  The STAA Student Zone includes detailed instructions to help guide parents and students through the reporting process.  Webinars are offered regularly in the fall by our advisors to help answer any other questions about how to participate in the transcript option.
