Annual Tuition, Side by Side

The gap between "affordable" and "personalized" shouldn't be this wide.

Static, low-cost curricula and $40,000-a-year AI-model campuses are really the only two options on the market right now. Forge Academy is built to sit nowhere near either extreme.

What's Included

General education requirements — plus everything school usually skips.

Every core subject is covered to mastery. Then we teach the parts of adult life nobody hands your kid a manual for.

AI-guided core subjects

Math, reading, writing, science, and history, taught to mastery with AI-guided instruction and AI-assisted feedback in real time — no waiting on a grader, no moving on before it clicks.

Weekly Studio Project

Once a week, learning leaves the screen: a real, tangible thing to build, make, write, or solve that ties directly back to that week's lessons.

Business, taxes & money

How a business actually runs, how taxes work, and everyday financial skills like budgeting and balancing a checkbook — built into the curriculum, not bolted on.

Choose your language

Parents select which foreign language their child studies, so the curriculum fits your family instead of a one-size-fits-all catalog.

Optional biblical studies

An entirely opt-in biblical studies track is available for families who want it — part of building an education around your home, not around ours.

Built for one price

Every track above is included in the same $1,499/year tuition — not sold back to you as add-ons once you're already enrolled.

“This project started as a question I couldn't stop asking about my own child's future. I'm hoping it turns into an answer for yours too.”

— Chelsea, Founder of Forge Academy

I'm Chelsea — a computer science grad from South Mississippi with a baby on the way. Somewhere in the middle of getting ready for my child, I started asking myself what I actually wanted their education to look like. The more I looked at the answer, the less I liked my options: cheap, static curricula on one side, and $40,000-a-year "AI campuses" on the other.

Forge Academy is what I built instead — real, mastery-based instruction that adapts to how a child learns, hands-on work that gets them off the screen, and the real-world skills school usually leaves out, all at a price that doesn't require a second mortgage. It's being built here in South Mississippi, for the kind of family I grew up around and the kind of family I'm about to have.
