A school tied to one building and one local calendar does not travel well.[ Wellspring Global Academy](https://wellspringglobalacademy.org/) is a fully online, Cognia accredited K-12 school built to go wherever your family goes, so your child keeps one school, one academic record, and one team of people from kindergarten through graduation no matter how often your address changes. ## Education That Is Not Tied to a Local District Wellspring is a private online school that serves families nationwide and welcomes international students as well. Because enrollment is not tied to a local school district, your child's education does not reset every time you relocate or travel for an extended stretch. The curriculum, the teachers, and the Educational Concierge stay the same whether you are home for the season or abroad for a month. - Fully online coursework accessible from anywhere with an internet connection - Asynchronous lessons your family can complete on its own schedule, in any time zone - Year-round enrollment with rolling admissions and no rigid start dates ## Learning That Keeps Up With Your Schedule Wellspring combines scheduled live sessions with self-paced independent work. Students typically join two to four live sessions a day depending on grade level, and recordings are available for any live session a student cannot attend. For a traveling family, that means a missed morning because of a flight or a time-zone gap does not become a missed lesson. Independent work is completed on the student's own schedule within weekly progress expectations, which gives the day structure while leaving room for the realities of life on the road. The flexibility is not limited to younger students. Time spent on schoolwork generally runs three to five hours a day for elementary students and four to six for middle and high school, and families can shape those hours around travel, time differences, and the places they are visiting. ## A Diploma and Credits That Carry Recognition As of June 2026, Wellspring is fully accredited through Cognia, one of the most respected accrediting bodies in K-12 education, with recognition extended through its three divisions, NCA CASI, NWAC, and SACS CASI. For a family that may change locations several times before a student graduates, that recognition is practical protection: - A Wellspring diploma is recognized by colleges, universities, employers, and licensing bodies. - Cognia accreditation strengthens credit recognition, although receiving institutions always make their own transfer decisions. - Your Educational Concierge team provides complete transcripts and documentation whenever your student applies to college or moves to another school. ## One Point of Contact, Wherever You Are Every enrolled family is paired with a dedicated Educational Concierge, a real person who knows your student by name and is matched to your child's stage of learning. This is not a help desk or a rotating support team, and it is included in your tuition at no additional cost. Your Concierge handles the parts of school that are easy to lose track of while traveling: - Onboarding, including course selection, platform setup, and schedule building - Course planning aligned with your student's strengths, interests, and goals - Progress monitoring and regular communication with teachers - Scheduled check-ins with students and parents - Tutoring coordination when a student needs extra help in a subject - College and career planning for high school students Your Concierge is reachable by email and phone and prioritizes responding to families within one business day, so distance never means being out of touch. ## A Rigorous, Forward-Looking Curriculum Wellspring's K-12 curriculum is aligned to the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) and taught by certified, subject-area teachers. Learning is grounded in two approaches that suit curious, independent students: - Project-Based Learning, woven through every grade level, where students investigate real questions and present original work - Career-Connected Learning, which connects coursework to the wider world through guest speakers, mentorships, and internship opportunities For high school students ready to go further, Wellspring offers Advanced Placement courses taught by AP-certified teachers and Dual Enrollment through accredited college partners, putting college credit within reach before graduation. World languages, including Spanish and French with conversational practice, are available for families who value multilingual development. ## Staying Connected While on the Move Virtual learning at Wellspring is community-based, not isolated. Students connect with classmates through live sessions, collaborative projects, virtual clubs, student government, advisory groups, and virtual events including lunch bunches. Because the community lives online, it travels with your student. Clubs span interests such as debate, creative writing, coding, art, environmental science, and gaming, and students can also take part in academic competitions and service learning projects. Wellspring encourages students to pursue local activities wherever the family happens to be, so children stay engaged with the places they visit while keeping one steady school at the center. ## How Enrollment Works Getting started is straightforward and works at any point in the year: 1. Submit your inquiry and an admissions specialist reaches out to answer your questions. 2. Complete the secure online enrollment application. 3. Submit your documents, with help from your admissions specialist if anything is missing. 4. Meet for a one-on-one admissions consultation. 5. Confirm enrollment after receiving your first invoice. 6. Meet your dedicated Educational Concierge and finalize your student's course plan. Once all required documents are received, most enrollments are completed within three to five business days. A one-time $50 application fee applies at enrollment and is credited toward your first month's tuition once enrollment is confirmed. ## Funding and Tuition Wellspring's tuition is priced by grade level, with current rates available by request on the Tuition and Fees page and payment plans offered annually, by semester, or monthly. Families may also qualify for need-based financial aid, merit scholarships, a sibling discount, or a military and first responder discount, and Education Savings Account funding is accepted in Arizona, Arkansas, Louisiana, Texas, West Virginia, and New Hampshire. ## See Wellspring From Anywhere The clearest way to understand the program is to see it. Wellspring hosts a free Virtual Open House on the first and third Thursday of every month at noon CT (1 p.m. ET), with a program overview, a live platform tour, a chance to meet the team, and perspectives from current families. Sessions are recorded for families who cannot attend live, and the admissions team is available for a one-on-one consultation whenever it suits your schedule. Wherever your family is headed next, your child's education can stay constant.[ Contact the Wellspring admissions team](https://wellspringglobalacademy.org/contact) or call (855) 733-1533 to talk through your travel rhythm and build a plan that moves with you.
