Excelsior Classes Refund & Change Policy for SY 2026-2027

Please Note: Excelsior Classes has updated our Refund & Change Policy to reflect current payment structures, course planning processes, and the evolving homeschool landscape—including ESA and third-party funding programs.

These updates are designed to help families register with confidence, understanding how tuition and refunds are managed as we continue to provide strong, well-planned classes for every student.

Excelsior Classes understands that family circumstances may change. At the same time, accurate enrollment is essential for building strong, well-attended classes where students can thrive.

Our policy is designed to balance classroom stability with family flexibility.

Refund Policy for Fees & Tuition

Excelsior Classes begins reserving seats, confirming instructors, and incurring administrative costs as soon as families register. Course “go” decisions are made in late July and early December based on committed enrollments. When a family withdraws after registration, it affects not only the teacher but also other families who were counting on that course to move forward.

For these reasons, certain fees are non-refundable, and tuition refunds decrease as classes approach. Our goal is to balance classroom stability with family flexibility.

  • Excelsior Classes’ refund policy applies equally to all families, including those using Education Savings Accounts (ESA) or other third-party funding sources.

  • Families enrolling with ESA or similar programs agree to these refund terms regardless of funding status or reimbursement delays from the state or vendor.
