An exceptional classical education, thoughtfully priced to serve your family.
At McConkey-Harris Classical School, we believe a rigorous, content-rich education should be accessible. Our tuition is structured to be transparent, predictable, and competitive — with flexible payment options to fit your family's budget.
Why Classical Education is Worth It
A proven, time-tested approach rooted in the trivium: Grammar, Logic, and Rhetoric — developing students who think clearly, write persuasively, and reason well.
Education of the whole child. Virtue, leadership, and love of learning are woven throughout every classroom.
Teachers who are subject-matter experts and mentors, committed to knowing every student by name.
Graduates who are sought by top universities for their intellectual maturity and academic discipline.
Students engage directly with the greatest minds in history — not textbook summaries.
Small class sizes, parent partnership, and a culture of mutual accountability.

Uniform — Included in Your Tuition
McConkey-Harris Classical School is fully online — but our students are not invisible. When your child steps out into the world with you — to the market, the library, a community event, or a Saturday errand — they carry with them the identity of a student who is doing something remarkable. The McConkey-Harris crest on their uniform announces that quietly, and powerfully.
For a distance learner, the uniform is not about conformity — it is about belonging. It tells your child: I am part of something. I have a school. I have a community. It gives them a visible identity that online learning alone cannot provide, and it reminds them every time they put it on that they are a student of classical education — held to a standard, shaped by great ideas, and proud of where they learn.
For families in public, it opens doors to conversation. It plants a seed of curiosity. And it represents McConkey-Harris in every space your child enters.
Represents the school in the community — wherever your student goes
Builds student identity and pride in a distance-learning environment
Invites conversation and raises awareness of classical education

Activity Voucher — Included in Your Tuition
Your tuition includes a $1,200 Activity Voucher — set aside specifically for your child's participation in Music, Dance, or Sports. McConkey-Harris pays the program directly on your behalf, removing the coordination, budgeting, and worry of arranging enrichment activities separately. For us, it's assurance that every McConkey-Harris student is actively engaged in a real-world, in-person program alongside other children — because socialization is not optional in a complete classical education.

When you add up what public school families actually pay each year, the number is startling.
🏫 True Annual Cost of "Free" Public School
Does not include lost parent productivity.
"One hour of tutoring per week — at $50/hour — costs $1,800 over a 9-month school year. That's nearly 20% of McConkey-Harris tuition, for just one subject, one hour a week, with none of the other benefits."
"Public school is free in name — but the real cost to families tells a different story."
