How Much Does it Cost?

How it works:

Start your teaching journey by enrolling for just $99. Once you are enrolled, as you progress through the courses, you will pay $99 per month. Every payment made will be applied to your overall balance.

Once you are hired, teaching in your own classroom, the payments will increase to ensure your full balance is paid by the end of the school year. Typically this is 8-10 payments depending on when you are hired.

Note: If you already hold a provisional license when you enroll into iteach, you will immediately begin making the necessary payments to pay your balance within 8-10 months; you will not pay $99 per month in this case.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

You may apply at any time; iteach enrolls students on a continual basis. 

No. No matter what bachelor’s degree you have, it’s your subject matter expertise, combined with your successful completion of our program, that makes you eligible to teach.  We’ll teach you what you need to know and do in order to be a successful teacher yourself. 

Please refer to the ETS Praxis test overview for Virginia here to identify the Praxis, content test, that you will be required to take and pass for state licensure.

No, iteach is not an institution of higher education. Therefore, the program does not qualify for financial aid.

You can complete all program-required instructional coursework within as little as three months. The entire iteach program, including your teaching residency, is designed to be completed within one school year. However, you have two full school years to find a teaching position as long as you are enrolled in the iteach program. Once hired, you must complete all program requirements during your two-semester field experience.
