Up to four students may be enrolled in a single class. The charge for access to the Kid’s College® online program for the first student is $10.95 per month. Three additional students are $7.95 each per month. Payment is made four months at a time. Payment for the first student is $43.80 for the first four months and each additional student is $31.80 for the first four month.

Selecting Coursework

We set your class up at the grade level indicated on your registration form. If you have multiple students and they are only one grade apart, we set your class up at the lowest grade level. We have found that students with further separation than one grade need to be set up in separate grades within the system in order to provide questions at the correct level. In those cases we will provide the additional classes at no extra cost.

You are able to manually select specific topics for your students. However, initally we strongly recommend that you do NOT manually select specific topics. Allow the software to adjust to the strengths and weaknesses of your student(s) according to the algorithms established by the STRIDETM computer adaptive learning technology. After you become familar with the questions and how the selection process works, you may want to manually select the topics.
