Griggs International Academy: price, grades, and fit

Griggs International Academy is a Seventh-day Adventist online school for kindergarten through grade 12. This directory’s faith tag is Christian, the closest label it has, and the lead keeps the Adventist name the school uses. The tuition page says the rates are for services from July 1, 2025 through June 30, 2026, and that Griggs may modify rates without prior notice. On October 24, 2026 that dated window is what the page still prints. A later rate was not invented. The enrollment fee is $100 for kindergarten through grade 8 and $115 for grades 9–12. Kindergarten tuition per semester is $72 for Reading, $72 for Bible, and $216 for 1-2-3 God & Me, which the page says covers math, social studies, science, music, art, and P.E. Grades 1–5 are $72 per subject per semester. Grades 6–8 are $113 per course per semester. Grades 9–12 are $309 per course per semester, listed as 0.5 credit. The page’s estimated full-time totals, enrollment plus tuition, are $820 for kindergarten (5 courses, two semesters), $1,108 for grades 1–5 (7 courses), $1,682 for grades 6–8 (7 courses), and $3,823 for grades 9–12 (6 courses). The note says those estimates leave out enrichment classes, textbooks, and supplies. The starting figure is $820, the kindergarten estimate. The accreditation page says Griggs is regionally accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools Commissions on Elementary and Secondary Schools and by the Accrediting Association of Seventh-day Adventist Schools, Colleges and Universities, and that the Maryland Board of Education approves it as a non-public school for kindergarten, elementary, and high school. Lessons are self-paced. Our involvement estimate is medium.

Where this listing sits

Griggs International Academy is filed under online schools. People also search Griggs, GIA. The directory name and the URL stay stable so an old link still lands here. CurriculumQuiz does not invent its own star score, run a parent poll, or sell a review. Third-party ratings quoted below stay in that section. Numeric ratings are combined into the independent average that orders program lists. That average is not a fact in the list above, and it is not a CurriculumQuiz score.

The price, read carefully

Price as shown: “Rates printed for services from July 1, 2025 through June 30, 2026. Enrollment fee: K–5 $100, grades 6–8 $100, grades 9–12 $115. Kindergarten per semester: Reading $72, Bible $72, and 1-2-3 God & Me $216 (math, social studies, science, music, art, and P.E.). Grades 1–5 are $72 per subject per semester. Grades 6–8 are $113 per course per semester. Grades 9–12 are $309 per course per semester (0.5 credit). Estimated full-time cost, enrollment plus tuition, not textbooks: kindergarten (5 courses, 2 semesters) $820; grades 1–5 (7 courses, 2 semesters) $1,108; grades 6–8 (7 courses, 2 semesters) $1,682; grades 9–12 (6 courses, 2 semesters) $3,823..” The starting figure is $820.00 (per year, estimated kindergarten full-time for 5 subjects and 2 semesters, July 1 2025 through June 30 2026 window still printed). It is the lowest verifiable figure we could defend, not a quote for your family. Older grades, extra students, shipping, and materials can change it.

Grades

Griggs International Academy is listed for K–12. In the quiz, that span is treated as grades 0 through grade 12. A program can still place a child by skill rather than age. Use the provider’s placement test when one exists, and do not force a level because of last year’s grade.

Accreditation and faith

Accreditation, in the provider’s words: “Regionally accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools Commissions on Elementary and Secondary Schools, and by the Accrediting Association of Seventh-day Adventist Schools, Colleges and Universities. Approved as a non-public school by the Maryland Board of Education for kindergarten, elementary, and high school..” We mark an accredited option because the official site describes one. Marking it is not a promise that every book, every plan, or every campus is covered, or that your state or a future school will accept the record. Ask which body accredited it, what the certificate covers, and whether the plan you would buy is the accredited one.

Faith stance recorded from how the provider describes the program: Christian. That is a description, not a rating. A Christian tag does not tell you how doctrine is handled. A secular tag means we did not record a religious claim. Catholic is more specific than Christian, and the quiz treats them differently when you ask for Catholic materials.

How the day is shaped

Online school

An online school enrolls a child as a student. Teachers or the school usually keep grades. Families give up some control of the clock in exchange for a lighter teaching load. For Griggs International Academy, the tag is a filing label from the official description, not a review of how your child will feel on a Thursday.

Self-paced

Self-paced means your family, not a bell, decides when the lesson happens. For Griggs International Academy, the tag is a filing label from the official description, not a review of how your child will feel on a Thursday.

Self-paced delivery means the student can move without a live class on the calendar. Parent time is our estimate: medium. Someone is nearby to start the lesson, watch the frustration, and check that the work happened. You are not writing the curriculum from scratch, and you are not handing the whole day to a campus. This is an estimate from the program type. It is labeled as ours so you do not mistake it for a fact on the publisher’s price page.

Who it may suit

• You want materials the publisher presents as Christian.
• You want an option the provider describes as accredited, and you will still ask which body and which grades that covers.

Who may want a different listing

• You want strictly secular materials.

These notes come from the type, the style tags, and the faith and accreditation fields. They are not a quality review. A program can be a poor fit for your week and still be well made.

What the official site itself describes

Recorded from the official site on October 24, 2026: The tuition page says Griggs may modify rates and policies without prior notice, and that the estimate does not include enrichment classes for K–8, textbooks, or supplies. When several siblings enroll together, only the highest grade’s enrollment fee is charged. This sentence is a quotation of what we could verify. It is not a full catalog, and it is not a recommendation.

Questions to ask before you pay

• Does the price you were quoted include every subject, shipping, and a second child, or only the example on this page?
• Is there a placement test, and what happens if your child lands in a different level than their age?
• Who keeps grades and transcripts, you or Griggs International Academy? That answer matters for your state’s official rules.
• What is the refund or trial window, in the provider’s own words?
• On a normal Tuesday, how many minutes is a parent in the lesson?

What we are willing to leave blank

The core fields for this listing were present on the official pages we checked. Prices and policies still change. The check date is October 24, 2026, not a lifetime warranty.

How to use this page with the quiz
