Financial Aid & Payment

We believe cost should not be a barrier

Need-based financial aid is available for Dual Academy Live and Dual Academy Campus students, covering up to 50% of tuition. Aid is awarded based on demonstrated financial need at the discretion of the school and is applied directly to tuition — not fees. All families are encouraged to apply regardless of income level.

0-interest monthly payment plans are available at the discretion of the school for all programs, including Dual Academy Flex.
What you pay with financial aid (tuition only; fees additional):

  • Dual Academy Live: $1,250–$2,500/semester · $250–$500/month
  • Dual Academy Campus: $3,750–$7,500/semester · $750–$1,500/month
  • Dual Academy Flex: No aid — volume discounts apply
