FEES
With the rising cost of quality education, we designed a program that is of great value for what it delivers. Your tuition covers pre-assessments, all materials, guidance, career counseling, classroom instruction by AHSB-trained, English-proficient teachers; pre-evaluation of all written work, and test administration and is as follows:
