Book and Material Fees
Textbooks and reading books must be provided by the family. For the Core program, certain texts may be rented from Greenhouse, and some books are used for multiple years. In addition, students will need to have binders meeting Greenhouse specifications.
Grammar Books: $50-95 (list price) per year
Logic Books: $100-175 (list price) per year
Rhetoric Books: $275-350 (list price) per year
Some electives require books or materials – see Electives Course Catalog descriptions for more details.
Payment Options
We offer a variety of payment plans, including twelve monthly payments (the most popular). Regardless of the payment plan selected, the total amount due will be the same. There is no incentive for paying by lump-sum, no penalty for paying monthly.
Financial Assistance
Limited funds are available for financial assistance each academic year. Currently, financial assistance is available for (1) single-parent households, (2) households whose primary income is derived from ministry in a church or missions agency, (3) households of missionaries on furlough or home service, (4) households of immigrants or refugees, and (5) households whose income is less than 250% of the federal poverty guidelines. The application process for financial assistance provides two windows to apply throughout each school year.

Work Study Program
Students 14 and older may apply for intern positions to earn money to help offset tuition expenses. Participating students will receive on-the-job training in addition to occasional training sessions with faculty to maximize their work experience. Interested students must go through an application process, and may need to present a Work Permit before being employed.
RaiseRight Program (formerly known as Scrip Program)
Enroll in the RaiseRight program and begin paying for many of your routine expenses with RaiseRight (gift) cards. Families who utilize RaiseRight receive a rebate (determined by the retailer), 50% of which gets applied as a tuition credit. Use money you are already spending to help reduce your tuition bill.
Tax Credit
Illinois allows families to receive an income tax credit up to $750 for eligible education expenses, including many expenses paid for homeschooling. As a support for your home school, helping you complete the curriculum of your homeschool, Greenhouse tuition frequently qualifies as an eligible education expense. Consult your tax professional about your specific situation.
Campus visit
Visiting Greenhouse provides an important glimpse into our special environment. During the pandemic we are limiting the number of on-site guests, and the length of their visits. Please contact our front desk to set up a time for a campus visit. Priority access is given to those who attend an Open House.
