Attendance:

• We only admit students who can regularly attend our on-site program.  In order to make small group learning work, we must only admit families who can commit to attending.
• Tuition is not dependent on attendance. This means, if there is no in person class, there is no tuition reductions, credits or refunds. Why? The program is designed to run seamlessly no matter whether the student is on-site or at home preventing learning gaps. 

Testing:  

We test to ensure students and families are assured students are receiving a quality education and to identify any gaps that we need to address early.

These tests are provided through a vendor on the Choose Act for you to utilize your scholarship and are affordable for families who are self-pay.
