To get reimbursed for educational expenses, families can follow these steps:

“We are thrilled to have achieved this step for Laurel Springs, and we look forward to expanding this program to include additional state programs,” shared Alyssa Tormala, Head of School. “We believe this will open doors for more students in these states to more easily pursue an online, flexible, college-prep education that will both challenge them and allow for the time and space to explore their passions.”

State ESAs and similar state-funded programs provide participating students with funds which parents or guardians can then use toward educational expenses for their students, such as private school tuition, course fees, online education programs, and tutoring.
