Public schools are funded by the government. Strike School is a private school, therefore, we must charge tuition to pay for expenses, such as teachers, curriculum, office staff, and other expenses involved in operating a school. Learn more about how this works here.

We are continually applying for grants to help families who cannot afford tuition. Currently, we have a wait list for reduced tuition scholarships. You may learn more about this here.

Our tuition pricing is based on what you choose. You may view the plan options here. We would be happy to answer questions about our options and help you find the best fit for your family.

You may choose to pay upfront or divide the total tuition cost into equal payments. Tuition is typically due on the 15th of the month before each enrollment month. Tuition is prorated for the number of months your child will be enrolled with us. A full school year is 10 months, so there will be 10 equal payments. If your child joins us in October, there will be 9 equal payments, and so on.

Strike School creates and provides official school records at every grade level for every student who enrolls with us in a qualified plan.
For each student, we share a digital file with parents that includes progress information, assessment reports, and end-of-the-year records.

At the end of the school year, K-8th grade students will receive a report card, and high school students will receive an unofficial transcript, with an option to order an official transcript to be sent to another educational institution, if desired. 

We meet each child where they are, and then move forward with learning. 

Your child may work at any grade level course that is appropriate for them. Parents have a choice in these decisions.

We provide a reading and math benchmark assessment in September and again in January for grades K-8 to ensure progress. In the spring, we administer a full Iowa assessment for all students in grades K-12.
