Payment Options in Virginia
Whether you're a provisional teacher already in the classroom, or looking to become a teacher in Virginia, iteach has affordable payment options for your tuition. Read all about them here:
Option 1: $99 Pay As You Go Plan
iteach allows you to pay $99 per month until you’ve earned your provisional license and can move to a teaching contract. Your $99 installments will go toward your tuition of $3050 and reduce your regular payments upon moving into residency. At that time, your monthly payments will have lowered your total balance allowing you to have the benefit of lower tuition payments once in residency.
How low it goes is up to you. Depending on how long you take to work on the provisional license prerequisites, each $99 installment will be applied to your tuition. In Virginia, many people find that the prerequisites of courses 5000 and 5100 take a few weeks each to complete.
Then, most content areas will have access to Passage Preparation, a partner test preparation provider. Passage Preparation will help you prepare for the state-required content area exam (Praxis II). This course can be completed at any time to help you begin preparing for your state exam, but does need to be completed to become eligible for a provisional license through iteach. Allowing time for test prep can take a few weeks as well. Most provisional license seekers a few months to complete these steps, all the while your $99 monthly payments have been reducing your tuition balance.

Enrollment Fee: $99
Monthly Payment: $99 until the start of your Residency. This payment goes toward your tuition, paying down the total tuition amount you owe every month.
