What Tuition at WTMA Provides
Your tuition payment to the Academy funds live, interactive instruction from a qualified teacher who provides individualized grading and feedback; and ongoing administrative support.
Ongoing Administrative Support
Administrative support may not sound exciting, but it is invaluable for your student’s learning experience as an online student! Our administrative team at the Well-Trained Mind Academy is available to help you and your student navigate technical challenges, answer academic inquiries, and ensure that your family’s experience at the Academy is nothing short of exceptional.
Our Dean, Julia Collier, holds a PhD and is an experienced college instructor. Along with the team of Academy Department Chairs, she regularly visits each class and reviews teaching procedures and grading in order to make sure that the Academy classes are all held to the same high standards.
Both the Dean and Director of Operations work closely with the registration and support staff; don’t be surprised if either one responds to you directly!
Uninterrupted, Quality Instruction
If your child’s teacher becomes ill, has a family emergency, or suffers from some other unexpected emergency that will take them out of the classroom for a prolonged period—something that happens in life!—the Academy will provide another trained instructor (often, one who is already teaching another section of the same class) so that the class can continue without disruption.
All instructors at the Well-Trained Mind Academy are experts in their respective fields and take their teaching seriously, offering personalized instruction to each of their students. Many also have experience homeschooling their own children. Learn more about each of our skilled educators on our instructors page.
Flexible Billing
Our Billing Department spends considerable time processing monthly payments and refunds. This allows the Academy to offer you one of the most generous refund policies of any online class provider, as well as flexible no-fee payment plans that put Academy tuition within the reach of more families.
In short, your Well-Trained Mind Academy tuition gets you a lot more than just an online course. In exchange for your tuition payment, we guarantee your student uninterrupted, consistent, high-quality instruction.
