2010-2011 Tuition

Overview
The unique schedule of the University Model School (UMS) directly and positively affects family costs. By having elementary and secondary classes meet on alternating days, twice the number of students can use the same facility compared to a traditional program. This efficiency allows the UMS school tuition to be significantly less than traditional private schools. Of course, parents are contributing their time and involvement in their child's learning in ways they wouldn't in a traditional school model.

Due to the unique nature of the University Model School, tuition is available two ways.

1. Full-time students receive the lowest tuition rate by bundling core courses with electives.

2. Individual courses are also open to home schooled students seeking college-preparatory core subjects and electives. (The exception is K5 kindergarten, which is only available as a morning block.)
