We are accepting enrollments for 2026-2027!
(If you are interested in enrolling for the current 2025-2026 school year, please contact us!)
Families may choose between the part-time and full-time plans. Families may upgrade or downgrade their plan at any time based on availability.
Full-time: 4-5 days a week for full days (9:30 a.m.-3:00 p.m.) Tuition: $12,000/school year or $3,000/quarter*
Part-time: 1-3 days a week for part or full days. You choose the days/time. Tuition: $8,000/year or $2,000/quarter
Additional fees:
$250 one-time enrollment fee; goes toward your 1st quarter tuition
$200 one-time materials fee (helps us keep stocked on supplies)
Optional textbook fees may apply for curriculum options (e.g. LifeHub)
Monthly payment plans are available!
*Full-time students can elect to pay tuition with ESA funds, OR apply for State Tuition Organization scholarships from The Institute for Better Education and/or the Arizona Leadership Foundation (families cannot use both ESA and STOs). STOs may be a better option than ESA for funding your child’s education, especially if you are low-income. If you are interested in paying using STOs, please contact us for more information.
We are an AZ ESA ClassWallet direct-pay vendor.
Enrollment Days
By enrolling in a part-time plan, families also select their attendance days. Desert Dragon staff plan ahead for students based on their enrollment; as such these attendance days should ideally remain consistent week-over-week. Alternate days are available on a first-come-first-served basis and subject to availability.
Due to Desert Dragon Learning Community’s open door policy, no credits or refunds are provided for sick days, vacation days, calendar holidays, calendar professional development days, half-days, or other missed days. Desert Dragon does not offer makeup days for missed days.
