Pricing is tiered with phased enrollment dates, a $95 non-refundable deposit per course, a 3% credit card surcharge, and a $25 paid-in-full discount. Go-to-market combines a consultative sales motion with Family Consultants, a free academic consultation funnel, and content marketing across email, social media, podcast (Veritas Vox), and a college-acceptance showcase.
