Our goal is to help reduce the financial strain on each of our online students.
Regardless of your situation, you can expect:
- Affordable tuition rates that are lower than those of similar schools or programs for online students
- No additional or surprise fees — everything is included in your tuition
- Freedom to cancel anytime — no long-term contracts
Our online learning model gives students the flexibility to work at their own pace while offering financial assistance to those who qualify. Whether you’re a full-time student, a part-time student, or looking to complete your high school diploma, we provide an affordable pathway to success.
International enrollments: some students may need to pay an additional fee for transfer credit evaluations from their home country.
Tuition breakdown
What’s included in this cost?
At Smart Schools, you’re not just paying for online classes—you’re investing in an academic program designed to help you succeed. With our program, students enjoy more options, flexibility, and lower costs compared to many other online courses or high school diploma programs.
Your monthly tuition payment includes:

- A dedicated academic advisor
- Support from highly qualified instructors
- Access to Tutor.com
- College and career counseling
What do we mean by unlimited coursework?
At Smart Schools, you pay by the month, not by the course.
- We use your prior records and transcripts to create a custom learning plan for you to follow.
- Since our online program is self-paced and asynchronous, you can progress through your coursework as quickly as you’d like.
- Each month you pay tuition, there’s no limit to the number of courses you can complete. If you work faster, you’ll pay less and graduate sooner!
There are no other fees? Really?
Yes, really!
Your monthly tuition covers everything. Even graduation expenses are covered if you choose to participate!
What form of financial aid is available?
Smart Schools is approved to accept funding from various state programs and education savings accounts (ESAs).
Many Smart Schools students receive funding support in the form of a state ESA or a state-funded diploma program. You can learn more about these options or begin an enrollment to learn if you may be eligible.
