Tuition & Costs
Your child deserves a high-quality education you can trust—without the high cost. No tuition is required for Arizona students to enroll in or attend Arizona Virtual Academy (AZVA), an online public school for Arizona residents in grades K–12.
Tuition-Free Online Public School Since 2005
As an online public school, Arizona Virtual Academy offers Arizona state residents a tuition-free, high-quality academic choice when it comes to their public school. AZVA is not a private school, nor are we a home school that requires parents to be teachers. AZVA is a tuition-free, online alternative to brick-and-mortar public schools, staffed with state-certified teachers who deliver instruction online.
Like brick-and-mortar public schools, there are some common household supplies that are not provided and may need to be purchased by families to enhance their child’s online learning experience. Read below for more information about how online public schools like AZVA are funded and what costs families may expect for their child to attend an online public school.
Quick Facts About Online School Costs
