Overview
Due to the unique nature of the University Model School, families have two ways to approach affording Lake Pointe:
1. Full-time students receive the lowest tuition rate by qualifying for various, tiered tuition incentives.
2. Individual courses are available to home schooled students seeking college-preparatory core subjects and electives. (The exception is the grammar school level, K5-4th grade, in which students must take the four core courses as an integrated block.)
