Academic foundations
English, mathematics, sciences and humanities build understanding, communication and judgment. Mature course resources form the starting point.
CALIFORNIA · GLOBAL LEARNERS · GRADE 9
The world is your classroom.
Learn to create what comes next.
Academic foundations, personalized AI support and real-world projects. We are building an online high school that helps young people learn independently, solve problems and create value.
Initial Grade 9 courses and enrollment arrangements are in preparation.
Our purpose
Opportunity should travel beyond borders.
California Future Academy begins with online high school, with a long-term vision to grow toward K–12. Families can explore a learning path that connects academics, AI tools, practical projects and personal development.
We believe a family’s resources should shape how education is funded, rather than decide a child’s potential. Scholarships and individual support are central to the model. We also aim to make introductory learning resources freely available as they are developed.
Our learning model
Strong foundations. A path of your own.
AI support, teacher oversight
AI tools can help with explanations, practice and feedback. Teachers review important learning outcomes and guide students through challenges.
A flexible, connected rhythm
Independent work, scheduled conversations and project collaboration are planned around learning needs and time zones. Project courses, life courses and social courses are three connected areas. Life courses include self-management, everyday skills, financial literacy, marriage and family. Social courses include teamwork, leadership, public speaking, relationships and community participation.
AI & entrepreneurship
Make something useful. Learn from the result.
Nine independent courses cover AI foundations, programming, robotics, quantitative research through simulation, entrepreneurship, cross-border e-commerce, game development, digital marketing and cybersecurity. Recorded lessons are combined with project mentorship. Students explore needs, build prototypes, test with users and reflect on quality, costs and value.
Project courses are separately priced and optional. Schedules, prerequisites, materials and fees will be explained before enrollment. Business income is a possible learning experience, never a promised result.
Tuition & scholarships
Clear value. More ways to access it.
Standard online high school tuition is USD $5,000 per academic year. Families may apply for scholarships based on financial circumstances, commitment to learning, potential and project work.
| Annual scholarship | Net annual tuition |
|---|---|
| No scholarship | $5,000 |
| $2,000 | $3,000 |
| $3,000 | $2,000 |
| $4,000 | $1,000 |
| Full scholarship ($5,000) | $0 |
These are application pathways, not automatic awards. Amounts, eligible courses and renewal terms require written confirmation. Project scholarships, fee reductions or individual deferred-payment arrangements may also be considered before a course begins.
Belonging & giving back
Grow together. Pass opportunity forward.
Freedom of belief
Christian faith courses are an optional direction. Participation is voluntary and is not an exchange for admission, scholarships or graduation.
A future alumni community
We aim to build lasting connections from the first class. Alumni may choose to share time, mentorship, opportunities or future scholarship support. Giving back is voluntary; donations are not currently collected on this site.
