Fees for Students Earning their High School Diploma from SVHS
These fees do not apply to supplemental students. Students who are enrolled in other schools and are taking SVHS courses to catch up or jump ahead on credits only pay the $125/course price.
Registration Fees
Our Registration Fee covers the initial onboarding process for diploma program students, including transcript review and credit evaluation.
International students pay a higher registration fee due to the additional complexity of evaluating international transcripts, verifying English proficiency through TOEFL scores, and ensuring compliance with both US and international education requirements. This process often involves working with credential evaluation services and conducting detailed analyses of different educational systems to ensure proper academic placement.
Graduation Fees
The Graduation Fee covers the comprehensive review process required to certify a student for graduation with an SVHS high school diploma. This includes a thorough audit of all completed credits, verification that all graduation requirements have been met, final transcript preparation, and diploma issuance. Our team conducts detailed checks to ensure every aspect of the student’s academic record is accurate and complete, meeting both our accreditation standards and state requirements for high school graduation.
Academic Coaching
The Academic Coaching fee per semester provides students with academic support and guidance throughout their studies. This supervision includes check-ins with credentialed teachers who monitor progress, provide academic counseling, and help students stay on track toward graduation. Our teachers work closely with each student to develop personalized study plans, offer additional support when needed, and ensure compliance with attendance and academic progress requirements. This ongoing supervision is essential for student success in our diploma programs and helps maintain the high academic standards of our accredited institution.
Sales Tax
Courses and other products and services sold by SVHS are subject to sales tax in select states in accordance with the applicable laws of that state.
Pricing Changes & Updates
Silicon Valley High School reserves the right to update and alter its pricing. Any price changes will not affect currently enrolled students during their active enrollment semester.
