Tuition & Payment Information

Tuition Rates

 

Tuition at Mt. Olive Microschool is aligned with Arkansas LEARNS Act funding.

For the 2026–2027 school year, tuition will not exceed the amount provided through the LEARNS Act Education Freedom Account (EFA) program.

This ensures that eligible families have no out-of-pocket tuition costs.

Tuition includes all instructional days during our school year, which runs from August through May, as well as access to our optional Tuesday instruction day for eligible students.

 

Payment Options

 

Families may pay tuition in one of two ways:

 

• LEARNS Act Funding
  Eligible families may apply for tuition coverage through the Arkansas LEARNS Act program. This option means no out-of-pocket tuition expenses for participating families.

• Out-of-Pocket Payment
  Families who do not utilize LEARNS Act funding may pay tuition directly. Payments are due by the first of each month.
