How to Enroll

Williamsburg Academy of Colorado is a multi-district online school available statewide in Colorado. For our school to pay your student’s tuition, it must be your child’s only state-funded curriculum provider.  

Students must take a minimum of 4 classes per semester to be considered full-time. Full-time enrollment receives the most student benefits, including a technology package and the option to graduate with a diploma. 

If your student would like to take 2-3 classes per semester, they may enroll in Williamsburg Learning’s Part-Time/Homeschool Enrichment or HSE program. Fewer benefits are available to students enrolled in our HSE program. 

Please see our Application FAQs for more details on full vs. part-time enrollment.

Note: Students cannot switch between full-time and part-time during the school year.

Any Colorado student who is entering grades 6-12 for the upcoming school year is eligible to enroll at Williamsburg Academy of Colorado. 

Note: The maximum recommended age to enroll at Williamsburg Academy of Colorado is 18. If all requirements are met, this ensures the best opportunity to graduate with a diploma.

Results show that full-time students who enroll in the Williamsburg program (taking four or more courses) achieve higher grades, develop vital time management skills, and make deeper social connections with their peers and mentors. They also outperform their peers on ACT/SAT exams and are better equipped for life as adults after graduation.

In addition, all full-time students at Williamsburg Academy of Colorado can receive a diploma, get free books and materials, and receive our premiere technology package complete with a student laptop, internet filtering, and tech support at no charge. We’re also exploring adding VR sets and other tech options for full-time students in the future.

*With the exception of software and subscriptions needed for a small handful of courses (for example, Adobe software applications and magazine subscriptions).

Take 2 or 3 Courses

Suppose full-time enrollment at Williamsburg does not meet your student’s needs, and they do not intend to graduate from Williamsburg. In that case, they can enroll in Williamsburg Learning’s Homeschool Enrichment (HSE) program through Colorado Education Reinvisioned BOCES.

Through the HSE program, BOCES will still cover the cost of books and supplies for your child’s Williamsburg courses (excluding a laptop, internet filtering, and tech support). To be eligible for the HSE, students must enroll in 2-3 courses, one of which must be a core course. There is no application required to enroll through the HSE.

Take 1 Course

Students who take one course are not eligible to enroll at Williamsburg Academy of Colorado or through Williamsburg Learning’s HSE program. However, you may register and pay privately through Williamsburg Academy Private School. Instructions for registering through private pay are available on this page.

Students may transfer credit that can count towards their graduation from Williamsburg. We evaluate credit transferred in from other schools according to the following guidelines:

• The credit must be earned in a regionally accredited school for grades 9-12.
• The transfer credit must meet Williamsburg’s academic standards.
• The transfer credit will be evaluated as to whether or not it satisfies one of Williamsburg’s graduation requirements. If not, it will be listed as an elective credit.
  
  

Transcripts from other schools should be emailed to the Registrar to be considered for credit transfer.
