Tuition is $2,000 per semester plus teacher fees and books if you want them. Teacher fees are on a sliding scale based on the number of students per class. With five classes of ten students per class the teachers’ fees would be $10 per class hour, times 24 class hours per course, times 5 courses = $1,200 teacher fees plus tuition of $2,000 = $3,200 total cost per semester. You get what you pay for.

Accelerating and achieving students need to discuss the topic they are learning While Students and Teachers are looking at each other’s faces. Viewing the other peoples faces provide visual clues about understanding, or not understanding. It also generates emotional issues like satisfaction and pride, which increases retention and self-esteem. These Socratic discussions led by teachers also builds communication skills, debate skills and speeds learning. Therefore in person schools, who were wearing masks, are a complete failure in the past and will be a complete failure in the future. We find the ideal class size is ten students because teachers and students can see everyone’s face at the same time and the classroom methods and curricula will keep every student actively involved in class. If students do not understand the material, they may add tutoring as needed. There are assignments like reading, videos and projects that need to be accomplished between classes. Instruction and practice are a powerful combination.

Dominion Prep will accept credits from qualified schools of record. Quality schools of record accept the credits and accreditation authority of Cognia-AdvancED-SACS for Dominion Prep worldwide.

You can enroll and attend Dominion Prep in either mode. Dominion Prep delivers an accelerated mastery program with special curriculum designed for high achieving students.

You may also choose to receive both your local high school diploma and a Dominion Prep Gifted and Achieving Diploma and transcript. We know which the colleges will rather see…. Dominion Prep understands what we do best, at affordable costs, and it is not Football. In high school, our Founder was an Eagle Scout, a state champion in two sports and a qualified thespian (theater geek). His freshman year at a top ranked engineering college, he competed in a top five NCAA Division 1 athletic program and trained for the Olympic games. He also earned 54 college credit hours in engineering and was on the Dean’s list. He did regret that his high school academic experience was not all it could have been, and he had to catch up in this top five ranked engineering program. He wishes a Dominion Prep program had been available for him – but he is making it is available to achieving students now! Dominion appreciates the benefits of expensive, high-cost capital experiences like sports programs and theater – even though you will not be making a living doing them. You can receive these for free at your public school, and still enjoy the benefits of Dominion Prep. So, you can keep your existing public school and take classes at Dominion Prep or use it as a home school program.

Dominion Prep is owned through a series of legal organizations. The parent organization is a Charitable Trust set up by the Founder to insure the school’s future after his death.

Before 2014, his majority stock ownership was transferred to a Charitable Trust to ensure the continuation of the schools, much like Harvard University.

His roles have included Member of the Board of Directors, CEO, SVP, CFO, VP of Finance, and head of strategic planning at a large multinational corporation.

Dominion Prep seeks experienced licensed teachers who want to lead achieving students in small class basis using the benefits of the Dominion Prep Learning System. We expect teachers to start part time with one class and add classes over time. 100% of teacher fees go to the teachers. After a while, a teacher with ten kids per class, that is $100 per class hour Teaching 5 classes is 10 hours per week. That is $1,000 per week. At 12 weeks per semester and four semesters a year that is an additional $48,000 per year for adding 10 hours a week to their teaching schedule.

After you are enrolled in the Dominion Prep program, you will have access to the Dominion Prep learning system. It kind of works like Uber – but you pick your course (instead of a trip) and pick your teacher (instead of a driver) who will lead your student to high achievement. You will have access to see what courses are offered, by which teachers and on what schedule, and how many other students are in the class. You will pick your teachers and classes and may change until sixteen days before school starts.

Dominion Prep is for well-behaved achieving students who are willing to work. Past behavior is the best predictor of future behavior. You should ask people you know for a nomination to Dominion Prep. If they are a Nominator, they may offer you a scholarship with your nomination. If you cannot find a Nominator, ask your favorite teacher to join Dominion Prep on a part time basis. Your teacher can teach their favorite class to good students for two hours a week and make a few thousand dollars a semester – without leaving their current desk!
