The tuition for the 2014-2015 school year is $19,100. AltSchool's tuition includes all activities, field trips, technology devices and classroom supplies. Lunch and afterschool care are available for an additional fee.

Note: There is a $4,350 tuition supplement to cover additional real estate costs for Palo Alto ($23,450 total tuition).

K is coming up next year for us so we've been talking about public vs private vs homeschooling quite a bit. DD's micro-school tuition isn't that bad, actually. It's about $6000 for half-time (8:30 to 12:00) and teacher student ratio is 6:1. It's multi-age to 3 to 7. Most private schools around here charge at least $20,000 a year.
