Frequently Asked Questions:

Tuition is $650 per month or $5850 per year. Despite being a “part-time” school, GFA has much the same expenses as a traditional, full-time school. We are dedicated to small classroom sizes and a low student to teacher ratio. Full or generous partial scholarships are available to almost every student. Please see our Tuition Assistance page for more information.

We are not able to offer a multi-student discount at this time.

Students receive instruction on campus from professional teachers two days a week. All lesson planning, preparation, and curriculum instruction will be done by the teacher. On your days together at home, your role could be described as a “private tutor” as you help your child with work assigned and previously explained by the teacher. You will learn the techniques and methods regularly used in our classrooms and be able to use that model, as you choose, in your classes at home.

The hybrid model of schooling takes the pressure off! Parents do not need to have teaching experience to enjoy success as homeschoolers. Our professional teachers introduce and teach new concepts to the students and then provide parents with detailed assignments and plans for the students to complete at home. With the teacher’s guidance, we are confident parents will feel more than equipped to instruct their child.

Yes! We use the Abeka curriculum because it has a 60-year reputation for solid, dependable results, particularly in reading. However, Abeka can serve as a foundation for almost any curriculum. You are invited to incorporate your curriculum of choice into your child’s academic journey. We only ask that your child attend class having completed the work previously assigned.

The students enjoy a pre-packaged snack (provided by GFA) at 10:00am. We do not eat lunch at the campus, but all students, siblings and parents are encouraged to have lunch with us at our recreation site, the Oriental Mini Park, at 12:15. Parents will need to bring their child’s lunch when they pick them up from campus at 12:00pm.

The curriculum is $400 per year for each student. This fee is not included in tuition costs, but funding options may be available.

No.  Although GFA meets at Oriental First Baptist Church, we are a non-denominational Christian school seeking to educate children with a Christian worldview. For more about our beliefs, please read our Statement of Faith.

Yes. There is a $100 enrollment fee due at the time of acceptance of your application.
