Howell Partnership
Funding Options
Paideia Learning provides support for homeschool families by offering core and elective classes for students in grades DK-10. Our goal is to stand alongside parents as they teach their children.
Families have two options for funding tuition at Paideia Learning: Howell Funded or Self-Pay.
Hybrid:
Howell Students - There is no additional out of pocket cost for Howell Students.
Self-Pay - $3500 per year, which includes tuition, curriculum, and fees for four core and two electives.
Electives:
Howell Students - No cost for most electives. Premium classes may have a $20 - $75 additional fee.
Self-Pay - Most elective classes are $150-$175. Premium electives offered through our partnership with business in the area cost between $200 - $375 per semester, depending on the class.
Paideia Learning partners with Howell Public Schools (HPS) under their Highlander Virtual umbrella to provide optional learning experiences for HPS students.
Hybrid: HPS covers 100% of the cost of core classes for their full-time students. This includes optional in-person learning twice a week for 15 weeks for core classes, curriculum, teacher’s manuals, online materials and all fees. Howell students are able to take two elective classes once a week for 14 weeks. These optional in-person learning experiences enhance online courses taken through Howell.
Part-time/Elective Only: Part-time HPS students can take up to 3 elective classes and enhance their learning with optional in-person classes at Paideia. These optional in-person learning experiences meet once a week for 14 weeks each semester. HOPS funding covers 100% of most elective classes for part-time (homeschooled) students. Paideia offers some classes through area businesses (called community vendors). These community vendor classes may have additional fees after HPS funding has been applied (see: https://www.paideialearning.org/classesschedule ).
IN-person lab
Students registered for the hybrid program can choose to meet two days a week for 15 weeks each semester under the guidance of a knowledgable instructor. What happens on in-person days? Students will complete one math lesson, practice drills through math games, learn to read and spell, practice penmanship (cursive begins in 1st grade), complete science labs, and hands-on history projects.
For electives, students are able to choose one of our many non-core classes. In-person classes are exciting and provide a chance for homeschool kids to connect with peers while learning something new. Class lists are available on the Classes/Schedule page.
Virtual Content
HPS enrolled hybrid students are classified by the Michigan Department of Education as full-time virtual students. Learning occurs using both physical books and online resources, which is supplemented by in-person optional learning experiences.
Self-Pay
Families who choose to pay for classes out of pocket are classified as self-pay.
Yearly tuition for self-pay hybrid students is $3500 and can be broken into monthly payments. This cost includes all in-person learning for core and elective classes, student curriculum, teacher’s manuals for parents, and a schedule for parents to follow when teaching during the at-home days. Online classes are available for those desiring supplemental resources.
Self-pay costs for Part-time/Elective Only classes vary based on the class. A full price list can be found on the Classes/Schedule page. https://www.paideialearning.org/classesschedule
