We are an educational consulting company founded by educators in 1981 to provide high quality, graduate level, continuing education courses to help educators respond to current challenges in education. Taught according to adult learning principles and grounded in current educational research, most courses are highly experiential and interactive, allowing each educator a hands-on, practical approach to learning. All of our instructors are local educators who have their master's or doctorate degree and are esteemed in their field. Please see the schedule for specific class times.
Attendance is required at all class sessions.
St. Thomas is accredited by the North Central Association and the National Council for the Accreditation of Teacher Education. Credit is accepted by most school districts for salary advancement and is applicable towards the renewal of your license. With prior written approval from the academic advisor, program director, and dean, credit may apply as transfer credit to University of St. Thomas degree programs. In all Connecting Link courses, participants contract with the instructor for an A, B, or C grade. An A or B grade requires the completion of a paper or project that is based on the course content and due no later than 2 weeks after the class ends.
