Discounts
A non-refundable down payment of 10% is required at enrollment to hold your students place in a class with the remaining balance split into 9 monthly payments from July - March. Payments are the parents responsibility to pay by the last day of each month. We are an all volunteer staff, so reminders and invoices will not be sent. Families are responsible to keep up with their own balance, and make payments on time via our JackRabbit Payment System. If you enroll after June, you are required to make all missed payments up to the enrollment date to be current on our payment plan.
Families who have been late in making 2 or more payments will not be allowed to participate in our payment plan option, and will be required to pay in full each semester prior to beginning classes.
Families who are late 2 or more payments after beginning classes will be removed from the payment plan and full tuition for the will be required in order to continue the semester.
Families who have an outstanding balance with Aspire will not have a guaranteed space at a campus or in a class until all balances are in good standing.
Families can pay in full or make additional payments at any time, and re-calculate their balance from there for the remaining payments.
Families must remain up-to-date on their monthly payments or their students will not be allowed to attend classes the following month until the owed balance is paid.

Payment Arrangement
All curriculum choices can be seen in the class descriptions for each class. Book rental fees are charged for most books that Aspire will purchase and reuse. This will save families a considerable amount on curriculum costs and allow Aspire to invest in a solid curriculum for the Academy Program.
Much research went into this, decisions were based on:
☑️ The overall cost for co-op and parents
☑️ Reviews on the curriculum from many different sources
☑️ OK state standards
☑️ Christian worldview curriculum choices of different private and/or college prep programs
☑️ Avg testing scores (especially HS) resulting from programs using this curriculum
☑️ Our model. Teaching 1-2 days and doing work (having enough work) the other 3-4 days each week... it’s unique!
We hope you will find them adequate and competitive with other programs!
