About
What is Hybridge Academy?
Hybridge Academy is a non-traditional middle and high school located in Tucker, GA. We strive to provide quality education to students who do their best work outside of the constraints of a traditional classroom. Teachers will engage with each student individually, meeting them where they are and prioritizing full understanding over acing a test.
What is Hybrid Education?
We follow a hybrid model, meaning classes are held both in person and online - classes meet once a week for 90 minutes, and the student can take as few or as many classes as they would like. Our academic schedule accounts for in-person meetings, online meetings, and independent study weeks, where students work on assigned projects for their classes.
What about accreditation?
Accreditation from the Georgia Accrediting Commission (GAC) is a goal we are looking to meet ASAP! Being an accredited education center means that high school students who graduate from Hybridge Academy will receive the same degree as students who graduate from public high school.
As of right now (Sept 2024), we are on the right track to receive retroactive accreditation. Our center will be visited by a representative in early Fall, and will be evaluated by the GAC in November. Upon their approval, Hybridge Academy will receive accreditation for our existing courses, as well as what is yet to come.
How much does it cost?
Finances at Hybridge Academy are broken into two parts - fees and tuition. There are a handful of fees during the application and registration process that total $375 for the first semester and $310 every semester thereafter. This money is used for insurance, renting space, providing students with use of the Jupiter program, and more.
Tuition is paid directly to instructors, either in one payment at the beginning of a semester or on a monthly basis. Our rate for core classes (Math, Science, Social Studies/History, and English/Language Arts) is $445/semester per class, and our rate for elective classes and supplemental courses (Computer Programming, Improv, STEM Lab, etc) is $385/semester per class.
Can a student take just one or two classes?
Yes! We want students to engage with what interests them - whether it means they take all their courses at Hybridge, spread their classes between different organizations, or primarily homeschool and take a Hybridge course just for fun.
If a student is looking to graduate with an accredited degree, there are guides to the classes they will need in the Course Offerings page of this site. If a student is looking to graduate with a homeschool degree, they can sign up for as many or as few classes as desired.
