Frequently Asked Questions
The Socratic Experience is for students who want to own their own education!
We are looking for students with a passion, either for learning, creating, building a business, creating a game, or some other form of excellence. They don’t need to know exactly what they want, but they need to love learning or doing in some form.
You will receive written feedback quarterly on your student’s performance in Socratic, writing, math, science, and project-based units. In addition to rich narrative feedback, your child will be evaluated against typical grade-level skill levels. Students who elect to take practice SAT exams three times per year will also have those scores as a measure of academic progress.
For the Novice, Middle School, and Non-Accredited High School programs, tuition is $12,600 if paid on an annual basis, which covers the entire academic year (September-June). For accredited high school, our program starts at $14,400 if paid on an annual basis.
