At Absolute Academy, we have always believed that quality education should never be a luxury. When we first started, one of the biggest challenges we faced was finding good teaching that was both effective and affordable. So many families told us the same story. They wanted the best for their children, but every option seemed either too expensive or too crowded to make a real difference. That experience shaped the foundation of our philosophy and our pricing.

We decided that our classes would be priced at sixty dollars because we wanted to make education accessible without sacrificing quality. We know what it feels like to pay high prices for tutoring and still feel like your child is just another face in a classroom of twenty students. It never sat right with us. Parents should not have to choose between affordability and genuine learning.

The truth is, we honestly believe education should be free. Learning is a basic human right, and knowledge should never be something that only a few can afford. Unfortunately, running an academy does come with costs. There are teacher wages, rent, electricity, printing, technology and all the small behind the scenes expenses that keep the doors open. Our sixty dollar rate allows us to cover these essentials while still keeping our programs within reach for most families.

When we looked around at what other centres were charging, we realised how unfair the system had become. Many parents were paying ninety dollars or more per class for groups of twenty or more students. When you multiply that across three or four subjects, it ends up costing more than some private school fees. We wanted to create something better. A model that focused on real learning, smaller classes and genuine care without the extreme price tag.

Our six person class structure makes that possible. Every student receives personal attention, and parents can feel confident knowing their child is not getting lost in a crowd. By keeping prices lower and class sizes smaller, we have been able to build a community that values progress and connection over profit.

We also know that education is an investment that pays off in ways far beyond marks. It builds confidence, independence and lifelong curiosity. We never wanted families to feel that this opportunity was out of reach. The sixty dollar price point allows us to stay sustainable while keeping that door open for everyone who wants to learn.

At the end of the day, our goal is simple. We want to help as many students as possible without letting cost become a barrier. We believe every child deserves access to supportive teachers, clear resources and a learning environment that feels human and genuine. Our pricing reflects that belief. It is fair, transparent and designed with families in mind.

Absolute Academy exists because we care about education, not just business. Sixty dollars is our way of proving that you can deliver high quality learning while keeping it accessible for all.
