The Honors Investment

What Sets the Honors Pathway Apart

Honors students receive intensive one-to-one instruction and access to programs no other high school offers — at a cost still well below elite private schools.

$3,485 per honors course, per semester

Each honors course includes 18 weekly 50-minute sessions with a credentialed teacher, advanced curriculum with supplementary materials, and a culminating project. That works out to roughly $194 per session — comparable to private tutoring, but with the added weight of a +1.0 GPA boost and honors designation on official transcripts.

Honors students also unlock access to Silicon Valley Business School (14 college-level courses in entrepreneurship, finance, and technology) and Liquidity Club (an industry network featuring webinars from founders, investors, and tech leaders, plus internship matching).
