Frequently Asked Questions

A microschool is a small, student-centered learning environment that blends the best of homeschooling, traditional schooling, and individualized education. With low ratios and a personalized approach, students are given the time, space, and support to thrive.

To apply to The Olive Tree Academy Microschool School, students must submit an application form, transcripts from their previous school, and take an entrance exam.

For the 2025–2026 school year, Olive Tree Academy is enrolling students in Kindergarten through 5th Grade. We offer mixed-age learning environments that honor each child’s unique pace and potential.

Our curriculum is flexible, hands-on, and built around whole-child development. We draw from high-quality, research-backed resources and customize lessons based on student needs, interests, and growth—not just rigid grade-level checklists.

While our mission is rooted in strong values like kindness, integrity, and curiosity, Olive Tree Academy is not a religious school. We welcome families from all backgrounds and beliefs.

At this time, we are focused on building a full-time, in-person learning experience. If you're a homeschooling family interested in future enrichment or part-time options, we’d love to stay connected as we grow.

Tuition for the 2025–2026 school year is billed quarterly and varies by grade level:

• Grades K–2: $1,200 per quarter
• Grades 3–5: $1,700 per quarter

Tuition is due on the first of the month at the beginning of each quarter. No enrollment fees required. Olive Tree Academy is an approved ESA vendor, and tuition payments can be made using ESA funds.

We accept payments via check, cash, or online payment (details will be provided upon enrollment).
