Self-Pay Families
Excelsior Classes makes registration simple and flexible for homeschooling families.
Follow the steps below to enroll your student in our offerings.
ESA Families
Excelsior Classes partners with families using Education Savings Accounts (ESAs) and other school-choice funding programs. Because state requirements vary, ESA enrollments follow a separate registration process.
To register with ESA or State Funding, visit the ESA/State Funding page.
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?
Once you’ve selected your courses, you’re ready to register your student.
The instructions below apply to self-pay 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. ESA and state-funded enrollments follow a separate setup process and should not be completed through the self-pay steps on this page. Please review the ESA/State Funding page before registering. Registrations completed through the standard self-pay process will require additional steps and fees to transition to ESA enrollment.
Before registering, you must have an active Excelsior Parent Account.
Returning families: Renew or confirm your account each academic year.
New families: You’ll create your account during checkout.
A non-refundable Family Registration Fee of $50 per family is required once per school year (regardless of number of students).
This fee activates your family account, secures administrative setup, and provides access for all students in your household.
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. These families have a separate process for registration.
Add courses to your student’s shopping cart — one cart per student.
Tuition is charged per student, per course.
You may return later to register additional students under the same family account.
Paying in full at checkout provides the lowest tuition price and the simplest experience. Once your tuition is paid, you’re all set — no additional steps required.
Families registering early can take advantage of our automatic monthly payment plans, available through August 14.
These plans include a small service charge per course to cover monthly draft administration, while still keeping the overall cost significantly lower comparable programs offered by other online providers.
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 | 30% | 2 | 15th of July and August |
| July | 50% | 1 | 15th of August |
| Aug 1 – Aug 14 | 60% | 1 | 30th of August |
Because classes begin on August 18, late-summer payment schedules are accelerated to finalize all tuition by end of August. These timelines ensure courses remain fully staffed.
Notes:
Families registering for spring-semester classes between September 1 and November 30, 2025 may choose either:
Option 1 – Pay in Full:
Pay full tuition at checkout and you’re all set.
Option 2 – Half Payment Plan:
This plan offers a convenient way to spread out spring tuition while keeping your student’s seat fully confirmed.
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.
Provide required permissions for your student and sign your agreement for all privacy, academic, and financial policies.
Review your total and submit payment.
