K-8 Program: Teacher Services (Tuition) & Fees

Global Village School teachers provide support, review, and encouragement to all of our students.  Our Elementary Program offers two options: Regular (full service), and Quarterly Review (for families needing less support). Tuition costs cover official enrollment in a legal private school, the maintenance of transcripts and records, consultations with our enrollment advisors, our learning styles profile, general administration, and teacher support.

See our typical enrolled student costs at the bottom of this page.

No matter what you choose, please remember that distance-learning requires parents to be very involved with their child's learning.

Please note that tuition covers a 10 month (year-long) enrollment period or a 5 month (semester-long) enrollment period OR completion of a grade level, whichever comes first. This means there will be tuition costs each year.

Regular K-8 Tuition

Highly Recommended for most families

Teachers review and provide feedback on all work. We do not issue grades for K-8 students unless families request it. Lessons are usually submitted monthly; they can be submitted more often if families prefer.

Teachers are available for a half hour consultation each month by phone, video conference, or in person. The nature of the consultations varies depending on the needs of the family.  Some students and/or parents only need a sounding board while others need more detail oriented assistance. 

Teachers are available for e-mail and phone questions upon request.

Teachers provide written evaluations at the end of each semester. Dates will vary depending upon individual student schedules.
 
Parents review all work for completeness and general accuracy before sending it in.

Parents score math (student reviews and corrects mistakes before sending it in).

Quarterly Review K-8 Tuition

For families that already have homeschooling experience and are very comfortable with the process.

Parents thoroughly review all work for accuracy and completeness before sending it in.

Teachers review work on a quarterly basis.

Teachers are available for quarterly consultations by phone, video conference, or in person.

Teachers are available for e-mail and phone questions upon request.

Teachers provide written evaluations at the end of each semester. Dates will vary depending upon individual student schedules.

For families choosing Quarterly Review tuition, we make the following assumptions:

(1) Parents and students are very comfortable with the homeschooling process.
(2) The family already has or can easily make a study schedule that works for them.
(3) Students are engaged in their studies and need very little motivational coaching from a Global Village teacher.
(4) Parents are closely monitoring and supporting the students.
(5) Parents are very comfortable with the subject matter.

We are now 5 months into using WCHP 7th grade study guide and we are loving it! We both read the books, often taking turns. The articles in the back of the study guide have been a constant source of inspiration and encouragement for me as I work to leave behind the limits of my own schooling. Most importantly, the GVS materials (both in the study guide and on their website) have imparted to me a sense of self-confidence that no other materials have helped me to feel. Joelle, parent
