Let us explain our billing policies, callouts, exits, and how it all works together to help your child catch up, get ahead, and find success.
Scheduling and billing
There are no contracted minimum number of hours required; we'll schedule classes as requested. After the first few introductory classes, we'll work with you to set a recurring schedule. Your card on file is generally charged once a month, on the first, for teaching hours scheduled for the upcoming month. If you're new and enroll after the first, your center will confirm the timing and amount of the initial partial-month charge. Scholarship families can review the Step Up for Students details below.
Billing for scheduled classes
Classes you schedule with the center, classes in a recurring schedule you approve, and classes your student or another person you authorize books directly will appear on your invoice and are payable under the center's payment terms, whether or not your student attends. The caregiver who signs this agreement is responsible for those invoices. The notice and rescheduling policies above still apply; the center won't charge for a class it cancels or for another arrangement it confirms in writing.
Breaks, exits, and same-day callouts
Since monthly tuition is paid in advance, please give your center 30 days' written notice by text or email for planned breaks and exits. This gives the center time to update your schedule so you are not charged for classes you do not plan to use. If life happens and you need to call out with less than 30 days' notice, please contact the center by phone, text, or email by noon for an afternoon class or by 8 p.m. for a morning class. With timely notice, we'll work with you to reschedule without penalty.
Progress updates and communication
We'll reach out to schedule Progress Update Meetings routinely based on your program and weekly attendance. We'll review what your student has been working on, what's improved, and what still needs attention. You'll receive an email with a scheduling link, and the center may also send an invitation based on your schedule and your student's progress.
Because other students deserve the teachers' focus and attention, please avoid entering the teaching area, interrupting a teacher mid-session, or requesting an unscheduled meeting longer than a quick check-in. If you'd like us to review homework, discuss a school update, or help with anything else, please call or email the center in advance.
Study hall and safety
We charge only for scheduled time with a tutor. Students are welcome to arrive early to work independently on homework or meet a parent in the parking lot for pickup.
For safety and clarity, staff supervise students during their scheduled learning time inside the center. Parents and guardians are responsible for students before or after that time and outside the center. GradePower Learning cannot accept responsibility for a student's care outside scheduled session times or outside the center.
Please tell the center about allergies, health concerns, or other accommodations. Staff are educators, not medical professionals; in a medical emergency, we'll call 911. Please also keep the center informed about authorized pickup and drop-off contacts, anyone who must not pick up your student, and any other accommodations the center should know about.
How we'll help

Every child is unique; communication, patience, and your child's hard work help build skills for long-term success. We'll get there together. #NeverStopLearning
Specific Policies:
Loading current center pricing…
There are no minimums or large commitments required to get started. Our experience is that students often need at least 40 hours of work to remediate a single grade level in one subject. We'll partner with you through targeted interventions, cognitive development, and regular check-ins. This is a journey worth committing to for your student's long-term benefit.
We encourage students to start early. After 30 hours of our small-group SAT or ACT test prep program, any additional hours you deem necessary are free. The center may reasonably schedule those hours around its availability.
Our Day Academy combines a pod-school and private tutoring for homeschooling families. Small groups are kept to 5:1 and classes run 12 hours per week following the local public school calendar. We provide reading, writing, and math, plus anything else individually tailored in your student's plan. Homeschooling is about more than core academics, so we'll maintain your student's portfolio and complete end-of-year testing with a certified teacher.
Each Team Academy is unique. We'll partner with your child's team by providing instruction, curriculum, and academic coaching to help your student-athlete stay on track.
If paying in smaller amounts would help, your center may offer a weekly payment plan. The monthly invoice is divided into four payments scheduled on the first four Fridays of the month. Weekly payments do not change for missed or rescheduled classes until the next month.
Payments are due within 60 days of the class date. If payment has not been received within 60 days and no payment plan has been arranged directly with the center, the center may refer the account to collections. If that is required, an amount equal to the center's cost of any collection action will be added to the invoice.
We are a direct-pay provider for the New Worlds Reading, Unique Abilities, and Personalized Education Plan (homeschooling) Step Up for Students Scholarships. If you provided your student's SUFS ID, we'll first use the funds you authorize through EMA toward your bill. Here's how to authorize funds in EMA .
