“I signed up for the New Saint Thomas Institute; best decision I could have made to help my faith. Well done.”
“The New Saint Thomas Institute allows me to go deeper in my knowledge of philosophy and theology without having to go back to school to pursue an advanced degree.”
“The New Saint Thomas Institute offers interesting content, inspiration for the spiritual journey, and challenge for the inquiring mind. It never fails to offer insight in the dance of gradually becoming the person I was created to be. Without reservation, I recommend this program to anyone who is serious about their faith.”
“I want to congratulate you on the creation of the absolutely magnificent New Saint Thomas Institute. Let me stress how impressed I am with the Institute and the many resources I have seen so far. Thank you for popularizing St. Thomas and being an advocate for sound theology online. This is exactly what the Church needs at this moment in history.”
“Thank you. This Institute is absolutely wonderful and is such a blessing. NSTI came into my life at the perfect time. I will forever be a student (and/or teacher) of Theology, Philosophy, & History. St. Thomas Aquinas has proven to be whom God wants me to learn & relearn my Catholic Faith…and thank goodness too! God Bless!”

“I’ve taken online courses through [a popular Catholic University] and I have to say that I feel like I get more out of the New Saint Thomas Institute’s materials than the other more expensive University program (about $99 per 4-6 week class).
“The technology is much more user-friendly at the New Saint Thomas Institute, and the materials are better organized. New Saint Thomas Institute’s customer focus really gives you the edge here.”
Study While You Feed the Poor and Care for Orphans
Great news! As Member of the New Saint Thomas Institute, you will be supporting abandoned children in China and feeding the poor through our Oxcart Charity Project apostolate.
A portion of your monthly tuition is a form of almsgiving and goes toward providing over 1,000+ monthly meals (Mt 25:35-40) to the hungry and provide financial support and medical care for abandoned orphans (James 1:27) in China.
Learn Catholic Theology, from the comfort of your home…
What is the New Saint Thomas Institute (NSTI)?
The New Saint Thomas Institute is an innovative Member community over 1,000 Members for those who passionately desire to become better defenders of the Catholic Faith through study of philosophy and theology. It provides training through HD video lessons, audio lessons, notes, recommended reading, and community support. If you want to go deeper in your faith, this is the place for you!
Is the New Saint Thomas Institute for everybody?
Honestly, we’re not for everyone.
- We are an online community committed to Christ and the magisterium of the Catholic Church.
- We believe the Bible is the Word of God and we draw wisdom from the Church Fathers.
- We believe it’s our duty to believe and live the Gospel of Jesus Christ under the authority of the papacy and the living magisterium.
- We believe that Saint Thomas Aquinas is the best theological medicine for the Church in our day and we look to his readings and example for guidance.
What does your motto "Non Alligabis Os Bovis" mean?
We are glad that you asked! “Non Alligabis Os Bovis” is the Latin Vulgate version of Saint Paul’s words in 1 Cor 9:9: Non alligabis os bovis. In English, it translates, “Thou shalt not muzzle an ox.”
Our patron saint Thomas Aquinas was known as the “Dumb Ox” because he was large, powerful, impressive, and quiet.
Our motto communicates our conviction: “Let Saint Thomas Aquinas speak to our age! Don’t muzzle his wisdom!”
Why should I join the New Saint Thomas Institute?
The New Saint Thomas Institute provides you four benefits:
1) You will be able to earn a Certificate of Mastery in Theology (not available to Basic Members)
2) You will grow in your faith in Christ
3) You will become better evangelist and defender of the Faith
4) You will be part of something bigger than yourself and have access to our private Member Forum
Is the New Saint Thomas Institute easy? I’m not a scholar!
Don’t worry. Dr. Taylor Marshall makes everything easy to understand and provides his notes to everyone. You can ask questions and get clarification on important questions at any time. We answer questions in the Comments, Forums, and we even dedicate a podcast to difficult questions.
Is the New Saint Thomas Institute expensive?
No. Member tuition is 98% lower than college tuition. The Institute was designed to be extremely affordable and inexpensive. We estimate our resources at $1,000 per month but our beginning tuition is only $47 per month. Everybody gets almost a full scholarship.
Does the New Saint Thomas Institute take a lot time?
No. You study at your own pace. There are no deadlines or required exams or papers.
If you want to earn the optional Certificate in Theology, it takes 12 months. If you desire to earn the Certificate in Theology, we recommend that you get the Premium or Gold Membership and that you opt for the yearly tuition package. By doing so you get 2 months free. This gives you the most value for the least amount of tuition.
Is There A Long-Term Commitment?
No. This is a monthly tuition rate that works like a monthly membership or subscription. On a monthly membership, you can cancel your membership at any time. We also offer a full twenty-one day full money back guarantee if you are not 100% satisfied.
Is This A One-Time Fee Or Monthly Tuition?
This is a monthly tuition rate that works like a membership or subscription. However, you can save a considerable amount of money on your tuition rate if you pay tuition yearly rather than monthly.
In the tuition comparison chart at newsaintthomas.com, you can see that there is a monthly Membership option and a yearly Membership option for the levels. Currently we give you two whole months FREE for choosing the yearly Membership.
How does billing work for tuition? What if I forget? Will I lose my Membership?
For our Member’s convenience all payments are automatic. If your credit card fails (lack of funds, card expired, or changed billing address), you will receive an automatically generated notice giving you 7 days to update your billing information. After 7 days, your membership is cancelled.
Are My Credit Card Details Secure?
Absolutely. Our checkout is thoroughly encrypted and compliant with the strictest and latest PCI (“Payment Card Industry”) data security requirements. All subscriptions, billing information, and payments are processed through Stripe and are 100% secure. Stripe is a world leader in secure checkout and is certified to “PCI Service Provider Level 1”—the most stringent level of certification. You also have our promise that we will never share or sell your personal details or email address to a third party.
How do the different Membership levels work?
There are three Membership levels: Basic, Premium, and Gold. The higher levels have more content and access for those who want to go deeper. The Certificates can only be earned through the Premium and Gold Membership levels.
In the early days of NSTI, a special “Charter Premium” Membership was offered. This special Membership was for early adopters and is no longer available to the public.
May I Purchase A Membership As A Gift For Another Person
How generous of you! Many of our Members have asked if they can purchase a Membership for a parent, spouse, grown child, seminarian, deacon, or priest as a gift. We only need the email address of the person to whom you wish to give the Membership. In order to learn more about our gift option discounts, please send us an email directly to support@newsaintthomas.com.
Do You Offer A Money Back Guarantee?
Yes, we are so confident that you will love the New Saint Thomas Institute, that we offer a twenty-one day full money-back guarantee. If you are not 100% satisfied with the New Saint Thomas Institute at any point in your first twenty-one days, we will issue you a full tuition refund, no questions asked. If you cancel after twenty-one days, no refund will be issued.
Do you offer scholarships?
We consider all of our Members as “on scholarship.” That’s how we like to keep it. We value our resources at $1,000 per month. By offering them Memberships starting at only $25 per month, we see all Members as “on scholarship.” We do not offer any discounts lower that the advertised tuition rates.
Can I access the content that was released during my Membership if I Cancel
Your monthly Membership entitles you to enter the Members’ area and access the content there released during the duration of your Membership. Once you cancel or default on tuition in any way, you will lose all access to the content inside the New Saint Thomas Institute (past, present, or future) and your account details will be deleted from our system.
Can I Download Audio And Video Files?
You can download the audio mp3 files, but you cannot download the video files. The videos are delivered in 1080 high-definition. It would be too expensive to allow over a thousand Members to download that much information month after month.
May I Share These Videos And Audio Files With Others?
You may not share your login credentials with another person so that he or she might sample or use the Member content inside the New Saint Thomas Institute. We are able to detect simultaneous logins and suspicious login activity. Violators will have their Membership revoked and deleted.
- Dr. Marshall makes two exceptions to our propriety privacy rule:
- There is an exception for married couples and their children living at home. A husband and wife may share a single NSTI Membership; however, if they each wish to earn a Certificate in Theology, each spouse must have his or her own Membership. In other words, the person whose name is on the single account is the only one who may earn a Certificate.
- There is an exception for canonically recognized Catholic religious houses of monks, friars, nuns, or sisters – so long as the number of participants is lower than twelve (12). If your religious house is larger than twelve, please send us an inquiry about your situation at support [AT] newsaintthomas [DOT] com
You may not violate intellectual property laws by reproducing in any way the proprietary content within the New Saint Thomas Institute. This includes reproducing or sharing content for friends or strangers, either for free or for a fee.
If you want to show or share video lessons to a small group, Bible study, conference, parish, or similar event, please contact us at support@newsaintthomas.com.
Will I Receive Personal Interaction With Dr Taylor Marshall?
You can talk to Dr. Taylor Marshall on the phone with the Gold Member package.
Are There Any Rules I Should Know About The New Saint Thomas Institute?
The New Saint Thomas Institute provides powerful content but also a fun, energetic community for those who want to grow in their faith and love for Christ. In order to keep our community and conversations positive, we have a few rules:
- You may disagree with other members. The scholastic tradition of our patron Saint Thomas Aquinas encourages debate and engagement. However, we ask that if you disagree with someone, please do so in a way that is kind and civil.
- We reserve the right to delete your comments if you post something that is blasphemous, offensive, sacrilegious, off-topic, spammy, libelous, defamatory, harassing, threatening, pornographic, false, misleading, or which otherwise violates or encourages others to violate Dr. Marshall’s high standard of Christian engagement and civility.
- You may not leave any images, comments, or hyperlinks that advertise, solicit, or otherwise promote goods and services.
- You retain ownership of your comments. We do not own them and we expressly disclaim any and all liability that may result from them. By commenting on this site, you agree that you retain all ownership rights in what you post here and that you will relieve the New Saint Thomas Institute from any and all liability that may result from those postings.
- You grant the New Saint Thomas Institute a license to post your comments. This license is worldwide, irrevocable, non-exclusive, and royalty-free. You grant the right to store, use, transmit, display, publish, reproduce, and distribute your comments in any format, including but not limited to a blog, in a book, a video, or presentation.
- We believe that these rules make the New Saint Thomas Institute a safe community given to edifying conversations. Our theological environment is unique in that, unlike a lot of religious forums, we do not allow bullies or trolls.
How do I get a Certificate?
If you are a Premium or Gold student member (the Certificate feature doesn’t apply to Basic members), you can earn all the Certificate Courses we offer. If you pass with 80% or more (don’t worry, we supply you with a full review and assistance), you receive your Certificate in any or all of our Certificate Courses.
What’s the ideal internet connection/speed for NSTI Members?
We recommend at least 15 Mbps (15 megabytes per second), which is now the industry standard minimum in most places. For example, Verizon offers 15Mbps as their lowest standard.
Our system automatically senses your internet connection and adjusts the streaming rate accordingly. However, we cannot guarantee flawless streaming if you currently have a connection below industry standards (below 15 Mbps).
Although we do have many Members who use lower speed connections and even dial-up connections in foreign nations, we recommend at least 15 Mbps.
PS: If you currently have cable or fios connection and you are not getting less than 15 Mbps, you are getting ripped off by your internet provider. Many of our Members have simply made a call and asked for a faster speed – and they get it for free since 15Mbps is assumed by all as the minimum acceptable service.
Can I watch the NSTI on my HDTV?
Yes, some of our Members do watch lessons on their HDTV using Google’s Chromecast. You install the Chromecast extension to the Chrome internet browser and it send a signal to the Chromecast to open the page on your TV through the HDMI dongle.
Is the New Saint Thomas Institute accredited or recognized by the US Department of Education?
No, we do not want to be accredited or recognized by the US Department of Education for three reasons:
1) Accreditation is usually sought so that federal loans can be granted for tuition assistance. But our tuition is already so low. We don’t need federal assistance. Caesar can keep his money.
2) Accreditation for Catholic education institutions usually requires observation and visitation by non-Catholic accreditation officers who evaluate the faculty, library, and curriculum. We don’t feel the need to seek a stamp of approval from those who don’t recognize our educational goals. For example, accreditation officers would require us to set learning time limits and enforce exams and term papers. That’s not our style.
3) Accreditation is expensive and time intensive. Those expenses get passed on to the students, and that’s not fair. Every college administrator will tell you that accreditation is the worst part of what they do. We feel that the process is pure bureaucracy. It’s a waste of our time and a waste of your time.
Does the New Saint Thomas Institute have a Mascot?
Yes. Allow us to introduce you to Tommy the Muskox! Members of the New Saint Thomas Institute are the “Mighty Mighty Muskoxen!”
We don’t have a football team…yet.
If I Have Another Question That Isn’t Answered Here, Who Do I Contact?
Please don’t hesitate to ask us a question. You can email us directly at support [AT] newsaintthomas [DOT] com.
