CogniGrit
Institutional Tuition Framework

Tuition & Investment

One Tuition Framework. Two Age Tracks. Three Engagement Levels.

We are an academy—not tutoring. Small cohorts. Serious intellectual standards. Measurable cognitive growth.

One Tuition Framework. Two Age Tracks.

CogniGrit operates on a single tuition structure across both age tracks. Tuition does not vary by age. Engagement level determines depth of instruction, personalization, and faculty access.

Foundations
Ages 10–11

Clarity, logic precision, bias awareness, and early systems thinking.

Leadership
Ages 12–14

Advanced reasoning, AI analysis, policy thinking, and ethical leadership.

Pricing Clarity

Tuition does not vary by age track. Engagement level determines depth of instruction, personalization, and faculty access. Families placing children in either track pay the same tuition for the same engagement level.

Our Educational Principles

We develop structured reasoning, not shortcuts or test tricks.

Faculty Expertise

Instructors are domain experts with real-world analytical experience.

Transparent Framework

Need-Based Consideration

Financial capacity should not prevent readiness-based admission.

Limited need-based options are available. Families may inquire confidentially.

Investment & Access

Financial Aid

We believe readiness and commitment should determine enrollment, not family wealth. Limited merit-based scholarships and need-based aid are available for qualified families.

Interested in financial aid? Discuss during your admissions conversation.

Enrollment Commitment

Your child's spot in a cohort is reserved upon enrollment. We ask for serious commitment because small cohorts cannot accommodate frequent attrition.

Withdrawal before start date: Refund terms follow the Terms of Service and enrollment agreement

Withdrawal after program starts: No tuition refund; one-time defer request may be reviewed case by case

Admissions Process

Admission is selective and readiness-based.

Step 1Cognitive Assessment

Students complete a structured cognitive assessment designed to evaluate reasoning clarity, curiosity, analytical discipline, and learning readiness.

Step 2Family Conversation

Following assessment review, we schedule a discussion with the family to explore fit, expectations, and engagement level selection.

Step 3Placement & Enrollment

Qualified students receive cohort placement, engagement confirmation, and enrollment documentation. Cohorts begin on a rolling basis throughout the year.

Commitment

Enrollment Duration

Enrollment is for six months. Cognitive development requires consistency, challenge, and disciplined participation.

Our Partnership Approach

We partner with families who value intellectual growth as a long-term investment.

Track Placement

Track placement is age-based:

Ages 10–11

→ Foundations

Ages 12–14

Engagement level is selected by the family.
