AmFaith (American Faith Academy) is one online option among several: a K-12 Christian school with a classical curriculum, AI-assisted personalization and a parent-partnership model. Its published tuition is about $2,260 a year for K-2 and $3,000 for grades 3-12, and its optional SOAR math and language-arts support starts at $69 a month.
How it fits the account
Online learning programs are an approved LA GATOR marketplace category when bought through Odyssey from a registered provider. At published prices, even the $5,243 standard award leaves money after tuition for tutoring, therapy, a SOWELA course or a laptop. Check that the program is listed in the marketplace before you pay anything.
Uses the school's published prices; confirm current pricing and marketplace listing first.
Where it makes sense in these parishes
- Cameron Parish, which has no approved nonpublic school.
- Allen, Beauregard and Jefferson Davis families whose single local school is full or not the right fit.
- Families on the waitlist who want a low-cost accredited year.
- Fort Polk families in DeRidder who expect a move and want one transcript to follow the child.
- Churches starting a weekday learning group that need a ready curriculum.
The trade-off, stated plainly
An online program asks a parent to supervise the day, and it does not supply a gym, a team or a lunch table. Families who make it work usually add something in person: a church co-op, a youth league, a SOWELA class for an older teen. Weigh that against the cost and the drive to the nearest campus, which for some families here is half an hour each way.
Questions for any online school
- Are you a registered Odyssey marketplace provider today, and in which category?
- Who accredits you, and how have Louisiana schools treated your transcripts?
- How many hours a week are taught live?
- What must a parent do each day at my child's grade?
- What is outside the quoted tuition?
The home study rule still applies: a student cannot hold a LA GATOR account while registered as a BESE-approved home study program. See the home-based page.
We list AmFaith because its price point sits under the standard award. It does not pay for placement, and this site labels any commercial relationship where one exists.
