FAQ

  • All Metro Academic Studies (MAS) classes are offered on an à la carte basis. Each class is separately priced. Students may enroll in one or multiple classes.
  • We are not a traditional school, but a program, whereby instructors partner with home-educating families to equip students to think critically and engage with culture based on a Christian worldview. Classes are designed to complement or supplement what is already taught at home.
  • While we have organizational structure for administrative purposes (registration, scheduling, room assignments), individual instructors set their own class requirements, curriculum, and fees.
