Course Catalog is Coming!

The classes in these various areas are offered by teachers through Excelsior Classes. Each teacher has developed unique and proprietary course content that is only offered in this setting. Your student will learn from experienced teachers who are masters in their subject area.

See the FAQ for school calendar, technology requirements, and financial arrangements.

A family membership is required to purchase courses.

Registration for SY 2018-2019 classes is closed. Registration for SY 2019-2020 will open in early February. Check back often and like our Facebook page for updates.

The course catalog is in the process of updating but may still be viewed; class information may change until registration firmly opens.

FAQ

How To Purchase Classes

Parents must first create a family membership account in order to purchase classes.

Parents should purchase classes for one student at a time in the shopping cart. This will allow the registrar to appropriately place your students in the correct classes.

See How to Register for more details.

Do you offer discounts or scholarships?

Excelsior Classes takes financial matters seriously. We realize that all are called to be good stewards of finances, and our promise is to treat your commitment to Excelsior Classes’ services with the respect it deserves.

For this reason, we typically do not offer tuition discounts. Our experience has been that deeply discounted classes do not produce long-term sustainability for families or for teachers; however, we do have two ways in which member families may qualify for discounted tuition.

Method One

In December and June of each year, we offer a 30% discount for a few specific classes. These classes are available to any Excelsior Classes member family. We cannot offer a discount on any seats already sold for the class, and we do not know in advance which classes will be offered in such a package. Award of spaces and discounts will be provided on a first come, first served basis until spaces are taken. Use the form below to sign up for notifications.

Method Two

In June of each year, we distribute scholarship funds raised through our affiliate shopping portal, Edu Click Thru. Simply shopping online by first clicking on the portal provides much needed revenue to fund such scholarships at no additional cost to the consumer. Scholarships are available for 70%-85% funding through a scholarship application process. The deadline for the 2019-2020 school year is April 30, 2019. Awards are based on financial need, ministry service, medical or military service, or other extraordinary circumstances. Contact Jess Woods, Scholarship Board Chair, to receive an application or to ask questions.

What is the refund policy for family registration, classes, and independent study?

The family registration is nonrefundable as is the deposit paid to Excelsior Classes for classes and studies. When a family registers, we take the commitment seriously as the spot is reserved for that student and may prevent others from registering

The refund policy and dates are: • Student drops between registration and Saturday, August 18, 2018 (fall and full-year) or Saturday, January 5, 2019 (spring only) = 100% refund of funds paid to teacher; deposit to Excelsior is non-refundable. • Student drops during the first week of class (by Friday, August 24, 2018 or Friday, January 11, 2019) = 50% refund of funds paid to the teacher; the deposit is nonrefundable. • After the first week of class (by Saturday, August 25, 2018 or Saturday, January 12, 2019), there is no refund due as it is unlikely the teacher will fill that classroom seat. (Full-year courses with two teachers are considered full-year courses.)

Please contact registration@excelsiorclasses.com and your teacher when dropping from a class.
If the class is canceled due to the minimum not being met, you will receive a full refund for the class.

If you are changing to a different class, the deposit is transferable to a different class within the same family for the current school year only.
