Scroll down to learn about term dates and tuition for The Hub's micro-academy, as well as information about how to apply.
We have rolling admissions (as long as there's space available in a cohort, and it's still practical to integrate newcomers into group projects that may be underway).
(Note: Tuition amounts are pro-rated if joining partway through a term.)

Multi-term enrollment discount
Enrolling in both the fall and spring terms simultaneously leads to a 10% reduction in the spring term tuition.
Sibling discount
10% for a second sibling and 20% for each additional sibling (applies across cohorts).
Tuition assistance
We realize that our full tuition—which is set to be on par with other high quality, highly personal experiences, and to allow us to compensate facilitators fairly—may be unmanageable for some families. Payments can be broken up into monthly installments. We also have limited funds available for scholarships, covering 25%, 50%, 75%, or 90% of the tuition. (The scholarship process is fast and simple, and considerate of families' privacy.) Additionally, in New Hampshire and Arizona, The Hub is an approved vendor for state-run educational scholarship funds.
Everyone will get the most out of the experience if there's a healthy group dynamic and all participants want to be there, so we do our best to make sure the program is a good fit all around before someone new comes on board. As an extra measure, there is a 30-day, no-further-obligation trial period. In the unlikely event that, for whatever reason, the program turns out not to be a good fit for an enrolled young person (or vice versa) during that time, unenrollment is permitted, and the remainder of the term's tuition is refunded.
The application process is straightforward. A good all-around fit and a good group dynamic are of paramount importance, so we meet with all prospective participants; those who seem like they would fit in well in one of our cohorts are invited to enroll.
If you think the program might be a good fit for your adolescent, we invite you to engage with us in one of the following ways, so that all parties can confirm the fit:
There is no set deadline, because we offer rolling admissions (when practical).
