Accredited Education
Northgate Academy is accredited by Cognia and the Middle States Association, which means that colleges, employers, and the military accept the diploma your student earns.
Affordable Tuition
We offer monthly payment plans that bring the cost of a private Christian education within reach of more families.
Flexible Learning
Our self-paced courses allow students to enroll at any point in the year and to work at a pace that fits their family's schedule.
Faith-Based Education Without the Private School Price
Why Northgate Academy Is the Smart Choice
Most families exploring Christian education are quoted a number that ends the conversation. The average U.S. private high school costs $16,040 a year.* Northgate Academy’s full-year high school program is $1,950, and we’ll break that into interest-free monthly payments if that helps.
We’re able to do that because we’re fully online. There’s no campus overhead to pass along to you, and none of it comes out of the academics or the faith formation.

Adult Fast Track High School Diploma
Earn your high school diploma online with affordable, pay-as-you-go pricing. Our Fast-Track program is designed for adult learners (18+) who have been out of school at least 6 months.
Finishing high school as an adult shouldn’t mean sitting for a test that reduces years of your life to a single score. Our Adult Fast Track program is a full accredited diploma, not an equivalency certificate. Instead of
scheduling a GED or HiSET sitting at a testing center, you’ll earn real credit in real coursework, online, at whatever pace your life allows.
It’s built for adults 18 and older who have been out of school for at least six months. There’s no classroom to report to, no testing center to schedule, and no semester calendar to wait on. You start when you’re ready.
Credit for the GED work you've already done
If you’ve passed sections of the GED, they count here. We award 2.0 credits in English, 1.0 in Math, 1.0 in Science, and 1.0 in Social Studies, which means you may be closer to a diploma than you think.
Pay only for the months you use
Adult tuition is $99 per month, and you stop paying when you graduate. Finish in five months and you’ve paid $495. Ten months is the maximum you would ever pay, or $990 total.

Tuition Questions Families Ask Us
What's included in the $1,950 high school tuition?
Six credits for the year, our full standard curriculum taught from a Christian worldview, the BRYTE AI Tutor, and access to our Academic Coach help desk. Course materials and platform access are included, so there’s nothing extra to buy once you’re enrolled.
Can I pay monthly instead of all at once?
Yes. You can pay tuition in full or spread it across a 5-month or 10-month installment plan. The plans are interest free, so your total is the same either way. Pick whichever fits your household budget.
Can I take one course without enrolling for the whole year?
Yes. Standard single courses are $325 each. Families use them to recover a failed class, pick up a credit needed for graduation, or get ahead over the summer, all without leaving their current school.
Do you accept homeschool credits, and will that lower my cost?
We accept transfer credits from accredited schools and from qualified homeschool programs, and our registrar will review your records to see what carries over. Transfer credits shorten the path to a diploma rather than reduce the annual tuition rate. For adult students, though, finishing sooner does mean paying less.
How much does the adult diploma program cost?
Adult Fast Track tuition is $99 per month and you stop paying when you graduate. Ten months is the maximum you would ever pay, or $990 total, and most students finish sooner. Complete your diploma in five months and you’ve paid $495.
Are there any fees beyond tuition?
Tuition covers your program. The only other charges are administrative, and we’ll always tell you before anything is billed.
