fbevents How Enrollment Works - Recess Academy

How enrollment
works.

Recess runs your child's whole school day. Enrollment works a little differently at Recess, so we wrote out exactly how it's set up.

01

The two ways
to enroll.

Whichever way you enroll, your family works with the Recess team every day. The difference is who admits your child and who you pay.

Through a partner school
Your child is enrolled in the partner school
Most families choose this path
A partner school in our network admits your child and issues transcripts
You pay tuition to that school
Recess runs the full school day
State programs like ESAs are available on this path
Directly with Recess
Not a school enrollment
The same full school day, without a partner school
For families outside partner-school states, or who don't need an accredited transcript
You pay Recess directly
Your state's homeschool regulatory requirements stay with your family
State programs like ESAs are available on this path

Some students only use Recess for part of the day, like when a partner school places a student into specific courses, or a family adds tutoring alongside another program. We'll set that up with you on the intake call.

WHAT MANY ESA FAMILIES PAY

ESA and scholarship awards go toward tuition up to the full amount, and we work with your family to bring out-of-pocket costs down. Some programs only fund one of the paths, so we confirm what your award covers before you enroll.

03

You'll know your path
before you sign anything.

On the intake call we go through your state and your funding and tell you which setup applies, what your aid looks like, and what you'll pay.
