How Much Does it Cost? Virginia Has Two Enrollment Options!
Monthly Payment Plan:
Start your teaching journey with low monthly payments of just $99! Once you are hired with your own classroom, we’ll automatically spread the remaining balance into easy, budget-friendly installments over 8-10 months. No stress, just focus on your success!
Note:
If you hold a provisional license when entering the iteach program, you will not be eligible for the $99 monthly plan. Instead, you will move directly into the residency/hired status and begin standard tuition payments.
Deferred Payment Plan:
The deferred payment plan is an option for those who may want to wait until they are hired full time to pay their remaining balance. Your monthly payment would be $280 per month if you choose the deferred plan.
Financial Assistance
We recommend reaching out to your school division’s HR team to learn about any special requirements or options they may have for financial assistance.
