At this point, availability is EXTREMELY limited for Spring 2025. You can email admin@thelearninghabitat.com to see what is available for your child(ren).

We expect a financial commitment from our families. We will not abandon you, and we expect the same in return. By not allowing refunds, we ensure the income of our teachers, the payment for our facilities, and protect the investments of our committed families, who depend on us to educate their children. We cannot continue to operate if families change their minds while we have made investments based on their attendance and payment. The fees and deposit are in essence an “insurance policy” against cancellations and also provide an opportunity for families to gauge their commitment and do so financially. We take this very seriously, and by refusing refunds, we hope enrolling families will as well. Our entire operation depends on the financial commitment of our families as we do not receive state, federal or private investor funds. In other words, please don't register your child if you cannot commit to a year's tuition. It is disruptive to everyone.

For the 2025-2026 school year, we will offer a multi-child discount of $500 per child.

Our scholarship fund, EJE Memorial Education Fund, Inc. offers need-based scholarships to families who cannot afford our tuition rates. We also accept the NC Opportunity Scholarship as well as the ESA+ grant which helps many families have minimal out of pocket expenses for our programs. As a private school, we also can accept NC 529 Savings Funds. Our flexible payment options allow for families to spread out the payments in the most comfortable way for their family. ESA+ grant application is here: www.ncseaa.edu/k12/esa/esa-interested/ 

When you go through the registration process, you will be contacted to meet with one of our team members to discuss your child’s enrollment based on scheduling needs, budget and where your child will fit best academically and socially. We offer part-time and full-time enrollment as well as a la carte classes for homeschoolers. (Opportunity Scholarship and ESA+ Direct Pay families may not choose a la carte enrollment.)

Your child will be added to the wait-list, and should an opening arise he or she will be added to the class.

Although the majority of our tutors are practicing Christians and we often will refer to our beliefs in conversation, we do not use Christian curricula or include Bible instruction in our classes, with a few exceptions such as our Bible class, when we offer it. We try to keep the instruction "religion-neutral" and avoid controversial topics. We also do not push any social agendas that may be concerning to families. We believe that religious education is the parents' right and duty to provide, not a tutor's. We welcome children from all religious and non-religious backgrounds. Our goal is to provide a safe, nurturing, loving, kind, and intellectual environment for all our learners.

Absolutely if your child is homeschooled and does not receive Opportunity Scholarship or ESA+ Direct Pay! There is only one exception to this: if a class meets twice a week, that is because we really feel the child needs to attend twice to get the most out of the program, and we do not offer discounts for just attending one time.  You may find, however, that your child wants to sign up for more classes if you only register for one! 

Yes, we do both.

Yes if attending part-time or a la carte classes. All of our learners age 7 and up must be registered as homeschool students with the state of North or South Carolina. North Carolina Home school Registration is here: ncadmin.nc.gov/divisions/non-public-education/home-schools/file-notice-intent-operate-home-school 

If attending full-time, homeschool registration is not necessary.

With the exception of severe anxiety or dangerous behavioral disorders, we can accommodate most learners with disabilities. Physical disabilities will be decided on a case-by-case basis due to our limited space and support personnel.  We can accommodate most hearing, speech, and sight disabilities, and almost all learning disabilities. Children on the autism spectrum typically do well in our program, but again may have needs beyond what we are capable of providing. Our code of conduct and behavior contract requires that all children be non-aggressive and non-violent. Repeated behavioral disruptions and outbursts are not acceptable. Obviously we can meet and discuss your specific concerns with your child before enrollment. For moderate to severe disabilities, we recommend looking into our TLH Academy at Monroe for 2025-2026. 

Tours are available on weekdays by appointment. Email admin@thelearninghabitat.com for appointments. We will also have numerous Open House and Meet-and-Greet events throughout the year.
