Is Strike School a public school?
No. Strike School is a private, virtual school, serving families across the United States.
Why does Strike School cost money?
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, Chromebooks, office staff and other expenses involved in operating a school.
What if I cannot afford tuition?
On occasion, we receive donations or grant funds to help families who cannot afford tuition. Currently, we’ve been awarded a grant for reduced tuition scholarships. You may learn more about this here: https://strikeschool.org/tuition-assistance.
How much is tuition?
Our tuition pricing is based upon what you choose. We would be happy to answer questions about our options and help you find the best fit for your family.
Do I need to pay for tuition all at once, or can I make monthly payments?
You may choose to pay up front, or divide the total tuition cost into payments from August through May, due on the 15th of each 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 you child joins us in October, there will be 9 equal payments, and so on.
Is Strike School accredited?
Accredited by Cognia, a diploma and other school records from Strike School ensures your student’s hard work comes from a respected institution formally recognized for its rigorous academics.
Definition of Accreditation:
Accreditation is the recognition from an accrediting agency that an institution maintains a certain level of educational standards.
Do you offer support for homeschooling?
Yes, we offer homeschooling support. Please see our Homeschool HELP options and refer your state guidelines to follow their requirements.
Are there requirements for my child to enroll at Strike School?
We meet each child where they are, then move forward with learning. For example, we can provide a reading and/or math assessment at the beginning of the school year to make sure we are starting your child at the correct level.
