Plans

A Full Round is one payment that covers the whole application cycle, from the fall window through the summer waitlist rounds, ending August 31. Monthly is for families joining late or mid-cycle; a Full Round costs a little more than the few months most families on that plan need, so monthly suits a family that needs only a few months, and the Full Round is the better buy for everyone who stays longer.
