Tuition Breakdown

Families can choose the level of support that they need. We have four levels to choose from, including independent, check-in, partial, and full support.

1. The minimum package  is perfect for very self-driven students who want to work at their own pace. Families pay $1,000 each quarter or $3,000 if they are paying in full.
2. The guided package is ideal for students who like to work at their own pace primarily, but they want to touch base with a teacher two hours per week to work through challenging concepts. Families pay $1,500 per quarter or $4,500 if they are paying in full.
3. The advanced package is helpful for students who need guidance each day and can complete some work independently. Students meet with their teacher four hours per week Monday to Thursday. Families pay $2,000 per quarter or $6,000 if they are paying in full.
4. The elite package is the right fit for students who need more direct instruction for all of their courses with minimal independent work. Students meet with their teachers six hours per week broken into one and half hour periods Monday to Thursday. Families pay $2,500 per quarter or $7,500 if they are paying in full.

Each package is designed to fit the child’s needs and we can adjust the level they are receiving at the end of each quarter if they find they need more or less support.
