Everything you need to know about our program, enrollment, and community expectations.
Unite Online Academy partners with homeschool families to provide personalized learning, meaningful relationships, and engaging teacher-led instruction. We believe children thrive when they feel known, encouraged, challenged, and connected, and we are committed to helping every child grow with confidence and a love of learning.
Unite Online Academy is a homeschool partnership program serving students in Kindergarten through 3rd grade, with future expansion to grades 4 and 5. Through a combination of live online instruction, small-group learning, personalized learning plans, guided independent learning, and offline learning experiences, students receive meaningful academic support and a peer community of learners while maintaining the flexibility of homeschooling.
Programs and services may include reading, writing, phonics, math, science, social studies, reading intervention, academic support, and enrichment opportunities. Online and offline learning experiences are designed to meet students where they are while providing both support and challenge as they grow.
All instruction is provided by a licensed teacher, and learning plans are designed and guided in partnership with families to support student growth, confidence, and progress. In addition to academic instruction, students participate in a supportive learning community that encourages meaningful relationships, daily connection with peers, and opportunities for in-person learning experiences throughout the year.
Because class sizes are intentionally kept small, enrollment spaces are limited and offered on a first-come, first-served basis.
A non-refundable $100 registration fee per student is required to reserve a student's place in the program. Enrollment is confirmed once the registration fee, enrollment paperwork, and tuition arrangements are complete.
Families may choose one of the following payment options. Payment details and due dates will be outlined in the enrollment agreement.
Full tuition is due before the start of the school year.
Fall semester tuition is due before the start of the school year.
Spring semester tuition is due before the start of the second semester.
Unite Online Academy is currently pursuing approval as an Arizona ESA vendor. Additional information regarding ESA payments will be shared with families as it becomes available.
Families may withdraw from Unite Online Academy at any time by providing written notice.
The $100 registration fee is non-refundable. Because enrollment reserves a limited space within the program and instruction is personalized for each student, families remain responsible for tuition for the semester in which the withdrawal occurs. Tuition for future semesters that have not yet begun will not be charged.
This policy allows Unite Online Academy to maintain small class sizes, personalized learning plans, and consistent support for enrolled students while providing flexibility for families when circumstances change.
Students are encouraged to attend all scheduled live instructional sessions and community meetings. If a student will be absent, families should notify the teacher in advance when possible.
Consistent participation helps students receive the greatest benefit from personalized instruction, meaningful relationships, and community connections.
