Fees and Costs*

Membership Fees

We have 2 levels of membership fees for Australian families: one for single child families and one for 2 or more children families, invoiced in 6 monthly increments.  If you are enquiring after the first month of the six-month period (January and July), your fees will be pro-rated to the end of the six-month period and a subsequent invoice will be dispatched for the following six-month period. It may also differ depending on your region of residence, and this is outlined in the no obligation quote that will be emailed to you, along with up-to-date and regionally specific prices.

Access to our staff means access to experienced home-schooling parents and to A.C.E. resource experts.

We offer assistance with registration in every state and territory within Australia and with the MOE in New Zealand, which contains step-by-step instructions for the application forms as well as detailed program templates.  The program template cross references each states requirements with the A.C.E.
