How to Register for Classes

Excelsior Classes makes registration simple and flexible for homeschooling families. Follow the steps below to enroll your student in live, teacher-led online courses.

Before You Begin

Browse Courses

Start by visiting the Course Catalog to explore our offerings by subject, teacher, or grade level.
Each listing includes course descriptions, prerequisites, tuition, and schedule details.

Not sure what course to take?

  • If you’re not sure which classes to choose, visit our Course Planning Page to view typical course sequences by grade level and flowcharts by subject area—a helpful guide for long-term academic planning.
  • Feel free to email registration@excelsiorclasses.com or contact any teacher directly with course-specific questions.
  • You can also visit our Contact Us page for general inquiries or guidance before registering.

Once you’ve selected your courses, you’re ready to register your student.

Important Note for ESA & Third-Party Funded Families

The instructions below apply to self-pay and payment-plan families only.

If you are using Education Savings Account (ESA) funds, charter school funds, or require reimbursement documentation, please visit our dedicated ESA/State Funding page for  guidance.

Step 1

Create or Renew Your Family Account

Before registering, you must have an active Excelsior Parent Account.

A

Returning families: Renew or confirm your account each academic year.

A

New families: You’ll create your account during checkout.

A

A non-refundable Family Registration Fee of $50 per family is required once per school year (regardless of number of students).

A

This fee activates your family account, secures administrative setup, and provides access for all students in your household.

Step 2

Register Your Student

A

Add courses to your student’s shopping cart — one cart per student.

A

Tuition is charged per student, per course.

A

You may return later to register additional students under the same family account.

Step 3

Choose Your Payment Option

Best Value – Pay in Full

A

Pay your full tuition at checkout and you’re all set! This option provides the best value and simplest experience.

Need a Payment Plan? We’ve Got You Covered!

A

Families registering early can take advantage of our automatic monthly payment plans, available through August 14.

A

All plans require a non-refundable deposit at checkout, with the remaining balance automatically drafted on the 15th of each month.

 

Registration Month Deposit Due at Checkout # of Remaining Payments Draft Dates
February 30% 6 15th of each month from March through August
March 30% 5 15th of each month from April through August
April 30% 4 15th of each month from May through August
May 30% 3 15th of each month from June through August
June 40% 2 15th of July and August
July 50% 1 15th of August
Aug 1 – Aug 14 60% 1 25th of August

Because classes begin on August 18, late-summer payment schedules are accelerated to finalize all tuition by August 25. These timelines ensure teachers are paid promptly and courses remain fully staffed.

Notes:

  • Payment plans are not available after August 14; registrations on or after August 14 require payment in full.
  • Deposits are non-refundable.
  • Refunds on tuition balances follow the timelines in the Excelsior Classes Refund & Change Policy.
  • ESA or charter families: Please skip this section and visit our ESA/State Funding page for details on funding-based enrollment.

Step 4

Complete Checkout

Add to cart
A

Enter parent and student details, including a unique student email address.
You must provide an individual email address that belongs only to your student and is not shared with a parent or sibling.
The Excelsior Classes Learning Management System (LMS) requires each user to have a unique and unshared email. Failure to provide a unique student email may result in a delay in accessing the LMS at the beginning of classes.

A

Provide required permissions for your student and sign your agreement for all privacy, academic, and financial policies.

A

Review your total and submit payment.

A

You’ll receive:

  • An email receipt confirming your order and listing enrolled classes
