Using ESA or state funding?
The steps below are for self-pay families only. Visit our ESA/State Funding page before you begin — ESA enrollments follow a separate process, and starting here will create extra work for you later.
Each listing includes a full course description, prerequisites, tuition, and schedule. Take your time — there’s no pressure to register until you’re ready.
Visit our Course Planning Page for grade-level sequences and subject flowcharts. You’re also welcome to email us or reach out to a teacher directly — we’re happy to help you think it through before you commit to anything.
Every family needs an active Excelsior Parent Account before enrolling.
New families: You’ll create your account during checkout — no need to do it separately ahead of time.
Returning families: Renew or confirm your account at the start of each new school year.
A non-refundable Family Registration Fee of $60 is required once per year, per family — not per student. This covers administrative setup, record-keeping, and platform access for everyone in your household for the full year.
Add courses to your student’s cart. Tuition is charged per student, per course.
If you have more than one student, you’ll register them separately — but both will live under the same family account, and you only pay the family fee once.
Our tuition is set at a flat, honest rate. No inflated prices, no sales, no waiting for a coupon, no games, no gimmicks.
We do make exceptions for active duty military families and overseas missionaries. If that’s you, reach out to us at registration@excelsiorclasses.
Prefer to keep it simple? Pay in full at checkout and you’re done — no drafts to track, no monthly reminders, nothing to think about until classes start. It’s also the lowest total cost.
We offer flexible payment plans so families can spread tuition across several months — and we keep the fees simple. There is a small, flat service charge per course to cover payment processing and draft administration. No interest, no financial fine print.
Plans wrap up before classes begin so that teachers are paid, courses are fully confirmed, and everyone shows up on day one ready to go.
The earlier you register, the smaller your payments. A family registering in February spreads tuition across six months. A family who waits until July pays the same amount in just two.
The table below shows the general structure; additional plan options are often available depending on when you enroll. Check the course page at checkout for the specific plans available to you at your time of enrollment.
| Register In | Deposit | Payment Schedule |
|---|---|---|
| February – May | 30% | Drafts through July or August |
| June – July | 30 or 40% | Drafts through August or early September |
| Aug 1–14 | 50% minimum | End of August or early September |
Why does the plan accelerate in July and August?
Classes begin August 17. We confirm instructors and finalize course sections based on full enrollment, so tuition needs to be complete before classes start. Registering earlier gives you more breathing room — and often means a better shot at securing your preferred courses before they fill.
Payment plans are not available after August 14. Registrations on or after that date require payment in full.
Families enrolling in spring-only courses have a simple two-payment option:
50% deposit at checkout
50% balance drafted December 18
During checkout, you’ll:
Enter parent and student details
Provide a unique email address for your student — not shared with a parent or sibling. This is required for Canvas (our learning platform) and skipping it can delay your student’s access at the start of classes.
Review and sign our privacy, academic, and financial policies
Submit payment
Once your order is confirmed, you’ll receive:
An email receipt listing your student’s enrolled courses
A Canvas login invitation before classes begin
If anything feels unclear, we’re a real team and genuinely easy to reach. Email us at registration@excelsiorclasses.
We’d love to have your family with us this year.
