Tuition is one figure for the school year, with a flat $100 annual registration fee alongside it and nothing hidden behind either. What follows is every way a family can pay, what it costs to join partway through the year, and what to do if the number is the obstacle.
A flat $100 per school year, charged once at enrollment in addition to tuition. It is the same whichever plan you choose and whenever a student joins — like the placement test and set-up, it does not pro-rate.
Every line above is included at this price. Personalization is not an upgrade, and there is no version of our attention that costs more.
How families pay
The tuition does not change with the method. What changes is the rhythm, and how much of your money reaches the classroom rather than a processor.
Paid by bank transfer (ACH). This is our preferred route and the one that costs least to process — on a $3,600 payment the fee is a few dollars rather than a hundred. Nothing about the teaching changes; more of the money simply stays in the clinic.
Two payments, one for each half of the school year. Due dates are set out in your agreement and shown in your portal rather than left to interpretation.
Four payments across the year, roughly one a term — a middle rhythm between paying twice and paying monthly.
The default, and what most families choose. Ten monthly payments aligned to the ten months of service, so you are never paying far ahead of the teaching you have received. Payments fall due on the first of the month — collected automatically if you set that up, or paid by you, with a reminder if one slips. If you set up automatic collection you can also choose which day of the month the money leaves, so it can follow your own pay dates rather than ours. The day changes when the payment is taken, never how much it is. Start with us in September and you pay the full year whatever day you enroll; join once the year is running and only your first month differs, charged by the week you begin.
Monthly is the smallest plan we run, but the month itself can arrive in two halves — $180 and $180 — if that fits your pay dates better. The month is what counts as due, not each half, so you are not chasing a fortnightly deadline. Tell us and we will note it; both parts show in your portal against that month.
Some families reach us through an employer's dependent-education benefit, a scholarship, or a state education-funding program. Availability depends on the program and on where you live, so ask at the consultation and we will tell you honestly whether we can be paid that way.
Say so before you decide against enrolling. We would rather have an awkward conversation about money than lose a student who needed the help. We cannot promise a particular arrangement, but we can almost always talk about timing, rhythm, and start date.
Mid-year enrollment
Tuition covers a ten-month school year. A student starting in January has not found a cheaper version of the service — they have bought fewer months of it. It is $360 for each month remaining, and the monthly rate never changes.
A February start comes to $1,800 — five months at the monthly rate. Every route through the year is priced from the same monthly figure.
A September start is a full year, whatever day you enroll. Joining after the year has begun, only that first month changes — you pay for the part of it you get, and every month afterwards is a full one, due on the 1st. Leaving works the same way in reverse, so a joining month and a leaving month never add up to more than one month of tuition.
There is no enrollment window and nothing to wait for. A student can start in any month, and the arithmetic is the same every time: $360 for each month remaining in the school year.
Whenever a student joins, they begin with a placement test, a decision on where to start, and a learning chart built for them. That work happens once, at the start, and is included in the tuition rather than charged separately.
Two things we don’t do
There is no bronze, silver or gold, and no version of personal attention that costs extra. The learning chart, the school alignment, the practice, the reporting and the between-session support are the service — not add-ons priced separately once you are committed.
Checkout is handled by the payment provider and belongs to the parent. They receive what is needed to take a payment and nothing else — never your child’s schoolwork, placement or diagnostic results, tutor notes, learning profile, or anything from a session.
Next step
If the numbers work, register your student now — it takes a few minutes and needs nothing from us first. If you would rather talk it through, a free consultation with a parent about one student will tell you which level we would place your child in and what the first term would work on.
