American School Announces Updated Tuition Costs

by | Jul 24, 2023 | New Blog

American School is announcing modest increases to its tuition costs effective August 1. As of that date, one year of our accredited middle school program or accredited high school program will cost $1000. The standard agreement will call for a down payment of $200, followed by 5 monthly payments of $160 each until the year is paid in full. One year will continue to include 5 units of credit, and tuition will continue to include the same benefits that currently exist, such as study materials, grading, access to the online student center and more. In addition, tuition for courses taken on an individual basis through our independent study program for credit recovery or enrichment will increase by $25 per course. Therefore, as of August 1, most individual subjects will cost $275 for one semester or $325 for a full unit course, though some value subjects will cost $175 for one semester or $225 for a full unit course and some premium courses will cost $375 for one semester and $425 for a full unit course. Tuition will continue to include study materials, grading, access to the online student center and more. The modest increases in tuition are due to the rising costs of study materials, shipping and processing. While online applications will be updated on August 1 and newly updated printable applications will be available to download on that same date, American School will continue to accept printable applications with 2022-2023 pricing as long as they are postmarked by September 1. American School remains committed to offering accredited middle school courses and accredited high school courses at an affordable cost, and these modest tuition increases will allow us to do that for years to come. Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.

Homeschooling has taught me a lot of new things. It has taught me self-discipline and made me take my studies more seriously than before. I have learned to study properly. The books and materials were very helpful. It is a fun experience to do homeschooling. Many people are amazed to know that I did homeschooling. This has opened and changed a lot of people’s minds.

American School has more to offer than any public school. Two of my children, two of my grandchildren, and one niece completed their high school education with American School, and my sister and I are enrolled at the present time.

– Marilyn from Missouri

I learned a lot, and the skills are helping me in my college classes.

The most important thing I learned was how to schedule my time and organize my work. The study guides helped to show me how much work to do at one time. I’m glad to be part of American School.

I have found the methods, instruction, textbooks, study guides and service satisfactory because they are all up-to-date and made ready for me to learn. I am greatly thankful for this service because now I can graduate early with all my credits in. Thank you very much, American School!

American School was an easy yet efficient way to earn the extra credit I needed to graduate.

– Elizabeth from Illinois

I greatly enjoyed American School. The instructors’ comments were very helpful. I enjoyed this method of learning. I feel I have learned a lot more than I did in public school. I was able to keep up with school through all the moves I made without going through the hassle of switching school systems. I enjoyed the honesty of the

instructors and the overall program. I will recommend American School to anyone interested.
