Does any one know of any Catholic Seminary schools that offer free classes?
I’m not sure where I should ask this, sorry if its in the wrong area.

Thanks
 
Rather than looking for a free seminary, why don’t you talk with the vocation person of your diocese and/or several religious communities. Many dioceses and communities have ways of helping those who cannot pay for their own education. My own community (Missionaries of the Most Precious Blood), as an example, if the person demonstrates that he cannot afford the education, will help set up a student loan while the person is studying. Then if the person leaves the seminary, he is asked to repay the loan when he can. However, if the person is ordained, the community will pay the loan.
I know of dioceses and other communities who also have similar programs.

That sounds like a great idea. But I’m not sure if that would work for me being a married woman. Although I would like to have the knowledge of someone who has been ordained, I wouldn’t seek to be ordained.
 
Sorry about assuming that you were a young man looking to study for the priesthood.
For studying theology courses otherwise, you would have to talk to the different theology schools (don’t forget those who prepare sisters and nuns) about financial help that is available. You might be surprised and find one that is willing to have you at least audit classes without paying. Or they may help you find grants and/or scholarships.
Many dioceses also offer theology classes for instructing lay ministers for various roles in the church. These might meet your needs.
Good luck!
