The consortium has split the tuition payment into a non-refundable deposit of 30% due at time of purchase, and then a second payment billed by and due to the individual teacher(s) in August 10, 2024 for fall and full-year courses or January 1, 2025 for spring courses. We open registration in February each year for the next school year, far in advance of classes starting, in order to help with financial planning.
Unfortunately, teachers are not allowed to accept payment plans under consortium practices.
Because Excelsior Classes operates as a consortium of independent teachers under specific legal agreements, we are not able to receive direct payments from government-funded agencies or ESA programs. However, many families have successfully received reimbursement for some of our courses through their state programs.
SPECIAL NOTE: Parents should first confirm with Registration that their selected courses meet the requirements for reimbursement BEFORE PURCHASING. Once confirmed, they may proceed with purchasing courses as outlined on our How to Register page. After payment is made, Excelsior Classes and its teachers provide detailed invoices and receipts that families can submit for reimbursement according to their program’s guidelines. Families in Arkansas, Arizona, Florida, New Hampshire, and Utah have successfully used this method although we cannot guarantee reimbursement due to the ever-changing laws governing such programs.
We’re happy to support your reimbursement efforts with the following documentation:
If you need help or clarification, please don’t hesitate to contact us at registration@excelsiorclasses.com.
Please note that any verification from Excelsior Classes is available once full tuition has been paid.
For charter schools interested in arranging payment on behalf of families, please contact registration@excelsiorclasses.com for next steps. We’re happy to explore possible options.
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 deep discounts. Our experience has been that deeply discounted classes do not produce long-term sustainability for families or for teachers.
Overseas missionaries (living overseas 100% of the time and with a sponsoring organization) and active duty military personnel may write to registration@excelsiorclasses.com for a discount code. The code must be applied before registration in order to receive the discount.
At Excelsior Classes, we value referrals and appreciate your support! Beginning February 2025, our Referral Program offers a $25 Amazon gift card for each new family that registers with a class purchase, with a maximum of two referrals per year.
How It Works
When signing up, the new family should select “Friend” in response to the question, “How did you hear about Excelsior Classes?” In the follow-up question, “Please be more specific (name of friend, Facebook group, etc.),” they must provide your name. A class purchase is required to complete the referral.
Please ensure that their answers are included on the registration form, as we cannot accept follow-up emails claiming referrals. No exceptions will be made. Only families new to Excelsior Classes for the registration year may report the referral.
To qualify for the referral program, referring families must have a student enrolled in a live course, independent study, or self-paced course at Excelsior Classes during the same school year that the referred family registers (e.g., a student enrolled in SY 25-26 referring another student for SY 25-26).
Referrals are processed on the 15th of every month.
Thank you for helping us grow our community!
It is possible to change a course registration for a full-price course (no discount coupon code used) prior to the start of the class.
The deposit is transferable to a different course deposit within the same family for the current school year only.
To make a change, simply write to registration@excelsiorclasses.com with your student’s name and the names of the courses you wish to drop and/or add.
After classes start, course movement is limited. Please write to registration@excelsiorclasses.com.
