Laurel Springs School review

Laurel Springs is a strong fit for students whose schedules do not fit a school day, such as athletes or young performers, who still want a college-prep record. High school tuition is $11,700 a year or $6,450 a semester, and The Academy, a more collaborative path with live workshops and research, costs $17,250 for high school. Single high school courses run from $900 for P.E. to $2,200 for AP. Students choose from more than 240 college-prep courses, 160+ NCAA-approved courses and 60+ Honors and AP courses, and can take dual enrollment through Baylor and Syracuse. Coursework is asynchronous and mastery-based, so students can redo work and retake exams, and Tutor.com provides 24/7 tutoring in every subject. The school reports that 93% of students scored a 3 or higher on at least one AP exam. The cost is the drawback, and the IMPACT learning support program adds $3,000 to $7,500 a year.
