Tuition is set by grade band and covers the full program for that band. We are mastery-based: students advance when they meet standards, and early graduation is possible. Tuition is for the year and the program—faster progress or early graduation does not reduce or refund the annual tuition. For progression model, acceleration, graduation requirements, and program outlines, see Academics.

Private pay: After enrollment is processed, families sign in and use Pay to purchase access by grade with a card. Choose pay in full or 3, 6, or 12 monthly payments (discounts above). Access to that grade's learning pages is tied to an active entitlement in our system.
We accept digital currency where available. For instructions, contact Mind Orbit Academy.
Academy-approved access: Some families receive access arranged by Mind Orbit Academy—for example a documented institutional award, invoice, wire, or staff-approved grant. If that applies to you, we activate the correct grades after approval; you don't need to complete Stripe checkout unless we ask you to.
Active installment plans can be reviewed on Payment plan. Not sure which path fits? Contact us before or after you apply.
Mind Orbit Academy may offer limited institutional awards to eligible students worldwide; criteria, availability, and next steps are discussed when you apply. Such awards are administered solely by Mind Orbit Academy and are not Florida Tax Credit, Family Empowerment, or other state-funded scholarship benefits.
Mind Orbit Academy does not participate in state scholarship programs or taxpayer-funded K–12 tuition mechanisms. Families residing in Florida pay Mind Orbit Academy's published private tuition in full, on the same schedule as families in any other jurisdiction, unless Mind Orbit Academy has approved a documented institutional arrangement in writing. See Disclaimers (Florida and tuition parity).
Refund and withdrawal policies, payment plans, and any financial aid or payment options are set forth in Mind Orbit Academy's enrollment agreement or financial policy documents.
Need help deciding? Families can review tuition first, then confirm grade fit on Admission, and ask final questions through Contact before submitting enrollment.
