What grades does GenShifter University Virtual serve?+

Grades 6 through 12, organized as Middle School (6–8) and High School (9–12).

Is GenShifter accredited?+

We're building toward full regional accreditation. Our curriculum is being designed to align with South Carolina graduation requirements while we complete the accreditation process. Families will always receive transparent updates on our status.

How much is tuition?+

Middle School is $7,500/year and High School is $10,500/year. Monthly payment plans, scholarships, and a volunteer discount are available. See the Tuition page for current details.

Are scholarships available?+

Yes. We offer need-based aid, merit awards, founding-cohort discounts, and sponsor-funded scholarships through the GenShifter Opportunity Fund.

Is this a religious school?+

GenShifter is values-driven (leadership, service, ownership, generational impact) but not a religious institution.

What about technology requirements?+

Students need a reliable laptop, broadband internet, a webcam, and a quiet workspace. We help families who need support meeting these requirements.

How does AI work in the classroom?+

AI agents act as tutors, drafting tools, and analytics — never as the final authority. Human teachers review and own every grade, intervention, and family communication.

How is student data protected?+

Student data stays inside the school. We do not sell it and do not allow it to be used to train third-party models. See our Safety & Support page for details.

Can students still play sports or attend in-person events?+

Yes. Many families pair virtual academics with local sports, arts, and faith communities. We also host frequent virtual and select in-person GenShifter events.
