Tuition & Costs
Your child deserves a high-quality education you can trust — without the high cost. No tuition is required for Georgia students to enroll in or attend Georgia Digital School (GDS), an online public school for Georgia residents in grades 6–12.
Tuition-Free Online Public
As an online public school, Georgia Digital School offers Georgia state residents a tuition-free, high-quality academic choice for their public school education. GDS is not a private school, nor are we a homeschool that requires parents to be teachers. GDS is a tuition-free, online alternative to brick-and-mortar public schools, staffed with Georgia-certified teachers who deliver instruction online.
Like our brick-and-mortar public school counterparts, some common household supplies are not provided and may need to be purchased by families to enhance their child’s online learning experience. Read below for more information about how online public schools like GDS are funded and what costs families may expect for their child to attend an online public school.
