mirabillis Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 I've been wondering the same myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teachermom2834 Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 I'm waiting,too. I think registration opened around Feb 15 last year. They were still taking registration for Spring semester that started this week so I have been hopeful that once that is behind them they will get it out for us. I love planning. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RootAnn Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 Here's what y'all posted last year about WTMA schedules for this school year. I'd assume something similar - or just a bit later (because of the snow chaos) - this year. So, maybe schedule posted mid-Feb & registration at the end of the month? WTMA told me classes will be posted first week of February with registration opening on the 15th. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Governess Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 I am hoping their schedule is posted soon.... figuring out all the classes we need without conflicts is always difficult, and I don't like signing up for anything until I have schedules from every provider. :001_unsure: 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woodland Mist Academy Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 (edited) I emailed WTMA and asked. They gave me a special preview, but I promised not to share. (Not really. No such luck. No preview given. ;) :laugh: ) The response was that class information will be updated around Feb 15. (I was going to say early June, but didn't want to panic anyone.... ;) ) From the schedules released from various schools thus far, I can tell that our scheduling for next year is not going to be nearly as smooth as the previous two years have been. We've already had to make difficult choices. I hope more difficult choices about classes aren't on the horizon... Best of luck to everyone! :cheers2: Edited February 3, 2018 by Woodland Mist Academy 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mirabillis Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 yes it's true, they are pricey. it was $599 for us history this year - but that's not including the annual $100 admin fee. so while i like to tell myself the class is only about $600 - it's really $700. times that by 3-5 online classes for 1 child (my ds is taking 5 in that ballpark and some more this year alone), and it becomes cost-prohibitive! it's not like homeschoolers as a rule are rich, plus many tend to have larger families. it is really becoming cost-prohibitive. i think those admin fees (wtma/wha) really do a number on pushing the fees out of the ballpark for many. i do like how PAH is just a set fee, nothing more, nothing less. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teachermom2834 Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 I'm not seeing anything about an early registration discount :( I'm not really complaining. It's pricey but competitive with the other choices out there and we have been happy with the classes. But, yes, it adds up. I tell myself it's private school at home. It works for us but it is a big investment. Definitely have to be choosy versus just signing up for a slate of classes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have an a la carte option at the local private school. It runs $1,200 a year per course. We also have the family option at the local private schools, so we only pay for the first few children with more volunteer hours required. We have noticed a significant change in the writing class with WTMA this year. I'm really debating if it's worth $700 for my child. I end up having to go through the lessons with DS and the feedback has been very limited, which is nothing like our experience with previous children.

It's official, homeschool online classes have become as expensive as the local private school, and more expensive than the local CC. I think my kids days as homeschoolers are numbered, which is just depressing. :( It is hard. I don't feel like it is out of the realm of what it costs to provide quality classes with dedicated, experienced teachers and still make a profit. The reality is it just pushes it out of reach (or out of reason) for many families. I appreciate WTMA for what it provides. I appreciate the refund policy and the payment plan option. I really don't feel like WTMA is gouging people. I think the prices are competitive and it is just what it costs. What makes it hardest for me is that it pushes us to dual enrollment. I really feel like my current high schooler is better served by rigorous online classes than by de at the local cc. I wish that it didn't cost more for a good online high school class than it does for a college class yielding credit. But I am pretty sure WTMA Precalculus with AOPS blows the local cc precalculus out of the water.(not saying this is true for all cc, but the one I am familiar with it is all online. Students sit in a computer lab and work through tutorials and take quizzes online and it resets again and again until they get 80%) I have no complaints about WTMA or the pricing. Just stating the reality of what it costs. I'm nearing the end of my homeschool journey and half my kids are on to college. These prices would be pretty overwhelming to me if I was just getting started with my oldest. I do wish my kids were the kind of motivated and independent learners that didn't need the structure of a class but they aren't. Of course, I can't blame my kids because I'm not the kind of homeschool teacher that has done a good job staying on track for high school. I wish I was. I admire the ones who do it on their own. But for my family homeschool high school means outsourcing. Edited February 10, 2018 by teachermom2834 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I end up having to go through the lessons with DS and the feedback has been very limited, which is nothing like our experience with previous children.

The catch being that the technology at PAHS is nothing compared to WHA or WTMA. I would willingly and cheerfully pay a technology and/or admin fee for a more easily navigated, less clunky learning environment at PAHS. Obviously circumstances differ and not everyone, especially those with many children, is in a position to pay the extra fees. My point is that the fees aren't for nothing. There is an obvious return for the money. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mirabillis Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 (edited) oh totally understand! esp as we had a meh PAH experience last year (wasted money) but enjoying our 3 PAH classes this year very much. it's just more for those of us who pick and choose curriculum providers - then that $100 or whatever admin fee doesn't spread out amongst many classes, but is tacked onto a single class, making a $650 class $750, or $599 class $699. kwim? fwiw - i am tallying our classes from last year and see that PAH AP Chem has raised prices to $819 for next year. So the price increases are really just across the board.

mirabillis Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 ok so i tallied from this past year, with my 10th grader outsourcing all... we used WHA, WTMA, HSA, CfL, Roy Speed, WAH, PAH (x3), Thinkwell...grand total just under $5K. Looking at next year's line up, I'm in the $2700 range. Whew! Much better.

RootAnn Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 The private Catholic school 30 minutes away would cost us just over $13,000 for all five kids (total). Tuition is just under $3,000 per year for middle/high school for the first kid and goes down with each successive kid you have enrolled. There is a "technology fee" added per kid. That doesn't include uniform costs. $5000 is a lot and beyond our reach right now, for sure.But academically excellent private school here runs $20-30K, plus trips, uniforms and multiple smaller expenses. If I could get WTMA quality high school here for $5K, I'd seriously consider going to work to pay for it. I already pick & choose classes carefully. I'm grateful for the opportunities out there. It makes it even more important to choose classes wisely because mistakes can be very costly! (WTMA's generous refund policy is wonderful.) Back on topic, however... Did the WTMA music theory classes use to be high school? A couple of years ago, I seem to remember them being listed as middle school because I wished they were high school level. A positive change, in my opinion... I see Mrs. Quintero isn't teaching all the AoPS classes this year and that they've added an extra class period each week to those classes. I like how WTMA is willing to grow & change with the feedback it receives. For those interested in Socratic Discussion: I don't know anything about the classes, but I did see that Angelicum Academy has online Socratic Discussion classes for 3rd-8th grades. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, check with them. Some of their classes aren't open to individuals yet. I know Python and Java can be bought individually, but I tried buying Explorations in Coding ( a basic course) from them and when I emailed them, I was told it wasn't open to individuals. Exploration in Coding course gives you "get in touch" button instead of "enroll now." I am mentioning this because when I clicked on statistics (just out of curiosity), it gives me a "get in touch" button again. That doesn't mean they won't sell it to homeschoolers, but it's a red flag to me to go email them and make sure they plan on opening it up for everybody this coming fall. Otherwise you need to find alternatives. I hope I am not mistaking you for somebody else. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DD is taking math and science at the CC this semester for 12th grade, both are 5 credits. Each is $670, with the lab on the science being an extra $54. It will now cost more for my middle schooler to take an online class. My problem this year with WTA is with an Expository Writing class. I debated Rhetoric for next year for the twins, as DD took Rhetoric I, but they will probably be at the CC instead. I'm not sure if we will continue with EW next year for DS. I do very much appreciate the refund policy with WTMA, it is a huge positive and makes me more likely to choose from their class list. I have not heard of Edhesive, but will be looking into it.

A couple of years ago, I seem to remember them being listed as middle school because I wished they were high school level. A positive change, in my opinion... I see Mrs. Quintero isn't teaching all the AoPS classes this year and that they've added an extra class period each week to those classes. I like how WTMA is willing to grow & change with the feedback it receives. I think the first year it was just Beginner's Music Theory. Then they offered both beginner's and advanced. I have a kid in the advanced class and we like it very much. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
