You can choose to enroll your child in our five days (recommended), four days (Mon-Thu), or three days (Mon, Tue, Thu) program. School lasts from 8.30 am-2.30 pm.
What Does "Competency-Based" Mean?
A child that signs up for our 1–12 program, is enrolled in five "tracks": (1) Math-track, (2) Composition-track, (3) Life-track, (4) Tech-track, and (5) Arts-track.
Each track has four levels of competency. A student begins at a level and proceeds to the next level when he has mastered the level he is at. This competency-based method replaces artificial "grades" and allows each student to learn at their own pace.
If a student excels at a subject, they can move faster, and if they find a subject harder they can move slower. Read about the tracks here.
What is School tuition?
You have three options...
Option 1: You can sign up for 5 days a week, 8:30–2:30 pm, for $599/month.

For students beginning in August, the first tuition is to be paid before July 25th, and every month after. (I.e. July 25th, August 25th, September 25th, etc.). For students beginning in the middle of the school year, two months' tuition is to be paid initially. For example, if you intend to begin in our 4-Day program in February, you will need to pay 2 x $525 = $1050 before the end of January.
The reason you pay an extra month initially is because there are many start up costs when a students begins (such as desks, school books, and other equipment/materials).
You can also choose to pay for the entire school year all at once, before July 25th, with a 5% discount. For 5 day students it comes to $6830. For 4 day students it comes to $6260. For 3 day students it comes to $5690.If you are starting in the middle of a school year, you may also pay all at once at a discount.
