One of the biggest advantages of enrolling at Colearn Academy as an Arizona public charter student is the financial support available to families.

Tuition is completely FREE, and eligible full-time Arizona charter students can receive up to $2,100 in enrichment funds each school year.

These funds help families enhance their children's education through approved educational expenses, which may include:

• Art and music lessons
• Sports and physical education activities
• Educational materials and supplies
• Hands-on science and STEM resources
• Supplemental learning programs and experiences

Instead of having to purchase an entire educational program using ESA funds, families can access Colearn's curriculum, teachers, and school resources through tuition-free charter enrollment while using enrichment funds to personalize learning even further.

Enrichment funds are subject to school eligibility requirements, approved expenses, and program policies. Charter enrollment and ESA-funded private enrollment are separate options.

One of the things families love most about home education is the ability to select materials that truly work for their children.

At Colearn, you don't have to give that up.

Families can customize their student's educational plan by subject, combining Colearn's school-supported curriculum with approved at-home curriculum options.

For example, a family might choose:

• Math: Colearn's teacher-led online curriculum, including live lessons and teacher support.
• Language Arts: A favorite at-home literature and writing curriculum.
• Science: Hands-on experiments and a parent-selected science program.
• Social Studies: Colearn's online coursework.

Another family might prefer Colearn's curriculum for every subject, while another uses primarily home-based materials with supplemental school support.

Our goal isn't to fit every student into the same educational box. It's to help families build a meaningful, academically strong educational experience that works for their child.

Families continue to meet school learning, progress-monitoring, and participation requirements, but they have meaningful flexibility in how learning happens.

At Colearn Academy, we don't believe parents should have to hand over their role as their child's primary educational influence simply because they enroll in a public school.

We value the insight, commitment, and experience parents bring to their children's education.

Our teachers work alongside families to select appropriate curriculum, identify learning goals, monitor academic progress, and provide support when challenges arise.

Whether you're an experienced home educator or just beginning to explore learning at home, you don't have to figure everything out on your own.

Our approach combines the personal attention of home education with the professional resources of a school.

And the results are about more than grades. We love recognizing students who demonstrate growth, perseverance, creativity, and achievement.

Teaching in a virtual environment requires more than simply moving a traditional classroom onto a computer screen.

Colearn's credentialed, highly qualified teachers are trained to support students in online and home-based learning environments.

Our educators understand the importance of clear communication, engaging instruction, flexible learning pathways, and meaningful relationships with families.

Students have access to academic guidance, teacher feedback, live learning opportunities, and individualized support.

And parents benefit from having an experienced educational professional to turn to when they need help.

You remain deeply involved in your child's education, but you gain an entire team of educators working alongside you.

Home-based learning shouldn't mean learning in isolation.

Through our partnership with Thrive Communities, Colearn students have opportunities to connect with peers and participate in engaging, in-person educational experiences.

The partnership provides opportunities for hands-on learning, particularly in Science and Social Studies for K–8 students, along with learning opportunities for high school students.

For eligible full-time charter students, Colearn covers the cost of one day per week of participating Thrive Communities programming.

It's another way we bring together the flexibility of learning at home with the relationships and experiences that make education memorable.

Some of the most memorable learning happens away from a desk.

Colearn Academy organizes regular field trips so students can explore new places, experience hands-on learning, and spend time with other Colearn families.

Our school offers field trip opportunities throughout Arizona, including the Phoenix and Tucson areas, with additional opportunities in northern Arizona.

Field trip opportunities are included as a benefit of charter enrollment, giving families another way to connect classroom learning with the real world.

Whether students are exploring science, history, nature, or their local community, these experiences help bring learning to life.
