Full-Time Students
Full-time students are enrolled in our academic tuition programs. They pay one set tuition price and consider Allcrest Texas Academy their home school.
Students seeking full-time enrollment first fill out an application, then meet with an academic advisor to create a Student Learning Plan that determines the best course of study. Once courses are finalized and tuition is paid, the student is enrolled in their classes and begins learning.
All of our full-time programs are fully accredited, and students who graduate from our High School Program receive an accredited U.S. high school diploma.
Part-Time Students
Part-time students enroll in individual courses and are welcome to take any class from our course catalog. We recommend that part-time students contact their home district first to confirm that transferred credits will be accepted.
When enrolling, families choose the course start and end dates. During traditional fall and spring semesters, we recommend taking semester-long courses over 14–20 weeks. Students studying in the summer can complete a full semester in as little as 6 weeks. Students enrolling in Advanced Placement (AP) courses must follow our school calendar dates.
After Enrollment
Once you’re enrolled, here’s how your student gets going.
01
Getting Started
Once enrolled in a full-time program or an individual course, students receive a login for their course(s) and can begin learning. Every Allcrest course includes a pacing guide with target due dates to help students manage their coursework. Questions about expectations? Contact our support team or read the student handbook.
02
Meet with a counselor
As students complete assignments, their teacher provides individualized feedback on performance along with suggestions for future success. All courses include synchronous sessions — real-time discussions or meetings with the teacher — and one-on-one tutoring can be scheduled as needed.

How Our Courses Work
Get an idea of how our online courses work as far as pacing, how you learn and login, and how many credits you can earn!
01
At Your Own Pace
Students work through the lessons and assignments at their own pace. There is a pacing guide in the course that has target due dates. This pacing guide is based upon the course start and end dates and distributes the work evenly through the course period. 20 weeks is the maximum amount a time a student can spend in a semester.
02
Learn Your Way
In each class, your student will have a highly-qualified teacher that will grade assignments, answer course content questions, and be available for one-on-one sessions with your child as needed. Teachers will also have optional group synchronous sessions where students can engage in group discussion and learning.
