The Keystone School suits homeschool families who want accredited courses without committing to a full private-school package. Full-year courses start at $400, semester courses at $289 and credit recovery courses at $169, and Keystone says full-time enrollment typically costs between $1,800 and $2,900 a year depending on grade and courses. Full-time students usually take five or six full-year courses. Every course includes access to certified instructors through a toll-free help line, with answers within one business day, plus record keeping and official transcripts. Keystone is fully accredited, NCAA approved, and offers family discounts, military discounts and a tuition assistance program. It is self-paced, so there are no scheduled live classes, and the school asks families to allow up to 72 hours after purchase for course access to activate. That makes it less suited to a student who needs daily structure from a teacher.
