Full-Time Tuition Fees
Students enrolled full time may take up to six classes per semester. The tuition cost is the same for middle school and high school whether or not students are part of the Stride Career Prep program. High school students who sign up for dual enrollment* will also have an additional $500 administrative fee. We expand on the benefits and qualifications for full-time students in the “Full-Time Enrollment” section below..
Part-Time Tuition Fees
Students enrolled part time may take as few or as many classes as they would like. This means you can purchase one individual course or several classes. For part-time students, there is an additional fee for Stride Career Prep courses of $200 the first year. This covers access to systems like Nepris and Naviance. There may be other additional fees for part-time Stride Career Prep Courses. You can learn more about the benefits and requirements for part-time enrolled students below.

Discounts on Tuition: Family and Sibling Discount
If you’re wondering how much private school costs when you have multiple children who want to enroll, you’ll be happy to know that we offer a sibling discount for qualifying students.
When you enroll two or more children from the same family at K12 Private Academy at the same time, you could be eligible for this tuition discount. This offer saves 10% on tuition costs for additional children you enroll as full-time students. The sibling discount cannot be combined with any other offer or promotion.
Take this scenario as an example: you have three school-aged children who you want to enroll. Your first child would be enrolled at the full tuition price. Your second and third children, however, would be enrolled at a 10% discounted tuition rate for as long as all three children remain enrolled.
