Special Offers
Special Offers
As former home educating parents ourselves, we know that home education is not a cheap option; which is why over the last few years we have been working hard at NorthStarWorldwide to cut our own costs and find ways to pass these savings onto our families.
Our fees have not risen for three years and in fact this year we have cut our standard fees by between 1.5 and 2%.
Over and above this however, we want to give our families even better value for money, although most of our special offers are limited to families who enrol early, we still have a number of offers that are running at the moment:
Option 1
Enrol in six or more courses as a family and receive 5% off fees!
Option 2
For families who wish to study a full IGCSE in one year we offer a discount of 20% over our standard two year fees. This reduces the cost to £608 per subject.
Families can choose to take advantage of either Option 1 or Option 2!
