At Forest City Academy, we believe high-quality, mastery-based education should be accessible to any family in Cleveland. Because of Ohio’s scholarship programs, your out-of-pocket cost is often significantly lower than the total cost of tuition.

The Simple Breakdown Total Tuition: $12,000.

Families utilize one of the following state scholarships to cover $6,166 of this cost:

Your Expected Contribution After applying your scholarship, other financial aid is also available. The remaining out-of-pocket family contribution typically ranges from $0 to $5,800.

This amount is determined by your household income level and the specific scholarship awarded. We are committed to financial transparency and will sit down with you to walk through the math and the paperwork together.

Other Fees

  • Registration Fee: $100

  • Curriculum Fee: $50

How it Works: Our 3-Step Process

1. Connect & Explore The first step is for us to meet to learn more about your child and ensure our mastery-based, learner-choice model is a good fit for your family.

2. Enroll & Navigate the Scholarship If we decide it’s a great match, we move to enrollment. We don’t expect you to be an expert on state paperwork; we will walk through the EdChoice or Cleveland Scholarship application process with you step-by-step.

3. Finalize Your Plan Once the scholarship is awarded, we will finalize your family’s specific contribution based on your award tier and set up a payment plan that works for you.

Still have questions? Financials should never be the primary barrier to a great education. If you have questions about your specific situation or the scholarship process, let's talk.
