Enrollment Options:

1. Enroll as a full-time student in our regular academic program

When you enroll in Global Village School you become part of a legal private school. We will maintain all student records, along with providing written semester evaluations, a yearly transcript, and a diploma upon graduation from our high school diploma program.

Each student is assigned Global Village teachers for all their academic courses. Our teachers are knowledgeable, compassionate, supportive, and committed to the vision of the school. You can contact our teachers by phone, fax, and e-mail, or schedule in-person appointments if you live in the local area. Along with regularly scheduled appointments, teachers are happy to answer questions when they arise.

Each family will work with an enrollment advisor to design the most appropriate program. The advisor will be available throughout the year to answer questions and provide support.

Call our office to make a phone or in-person appointment with one of our educational advisors, who will enroll your family, help you select a curriculum, answer your questions, and provide you with additional information.
 
 

2. Enroll as a full-time student in our unschooling program

Some students are already very independent learners; they know what they want to learn and how to go about it. Some families have been traditional homeschoolers for years and already know how to provide an excellent learning environment for their children. At Global Village we acknowledge and support the value of this type of education. We will work with you in designing and documenting a non-traditional unschooling program that meets legal requirements as well as the unique needs and interests of your family. You can purchase any Global Village courses that interest you, as well as designing your own.
 

3. Dual Enrollment

Take Global Village courses for credit while enrolled at another school. Check with your school first to make sure they will accept the credits.
 

4. Purchase Curriculum only

Families may purchase books or courses without enrolling in Global Village School. However, this option does not provide you with a Global Village teacher or with other support services, nor does it imply that you are enrolled in our high school diploma program.

Fees

All fees are in U.S. dollars. Rather than setting a standard fee for everyone, we have set up our system so that families only pay for what they need. Fees vary based on the student's grade level and on type of curriculum and teacher service chosen. All enrolled students pay a

High school tuition includes official enrollment in a legal private school, the maintenance of transcripts and records, consultations with our enrollment advisors, our learning styles profile, general administration, teacher support, etc. Those of you coming to us from other high schools can evaluate your own transcript by comparing it to our high school diploma program graduation requirements. If you would like us to look over your academic records before you enroll to determine what you need to graduate, there will be a $40 non-refundable charge for assessing your transcript.  If you choose to enroll this $40 will count toward your tuition fees.

Other enrollment options:

Single course / Dual enrollment - tuition for 1 or 2 courses for students enrolled in other schools.
 

Course Tuition Options: Global Village teachers provide support, review, and encouragement to all of our students. Our High School Diploma Program offers three options: Regular (full service), Quarterly Review, and Tutorial (additional support). No matter what you choose, please remember that distance-learning requires parents to be very involved with their child's learning.
