Harbor Hybrid Academy FAQs
Harbor Hybrid Academy is an educational model that combines at home and in-person learning. It is a full-time school program consisting of 2 days (Wednesdays & Fridays) of in-person learning and 2-3 days of learning at home. We partner with Oxford Virtual Academy (OVA) to combine homeschooling with the best parts of traditional education.
We currently meet at Dearborn Free Methodist Church at 2801 S. Telegraph Road in Dearborn, Michigan.
Hybrid classes (k-5th) will meet on Wednesdays and Fridays for the 2025-2026 school year. Classes will meet 15 weeks each semester.
How much do classes cost?
If your student is enrolled in Oxford Virtual Academy (OVA), a public school, they can receive state funding to cover the entire tuition and curriculum cost of Harbor Hybrid Academy.
Self-pay families tuition cost is TBD.
What is your tuition policy?
Due to our overhead expenses, we do not give refunds on tuition if a student drops prior to the end of the school year.
Families with outstanding balances after week 7, will be unable to return to Harbor until balance is paid in full and/or will lose enrollment for the following semester.
Our hybrid program has a limited capacity, so we recommend applying as soon as possible to guarantee your student's spot in our program.
Families only need to apply and register once per year.
How much of the coursework is online?
Most of the coursework will not be online but there is an online component the students need to complete each week and check in with their mentor online. All of the work and curriculum is overseen by a certified teacher through Oxford.
What is the birth date requirement to register for Kindergarten?
To join our Kindergarten program, students must be 5 by September 1.
Class sizes will be kept small for more personal attention. Classes will not have more than 15 students per instructor.
