Hybrid schools are designed to be more affordable than traditional private schools. As such, they appeal to a demographic that may not be able to afford private schooling.

The courses are meant to be affordable. I remember what it was like to be starting out with very little capital! The strategic planning course is $199 and the implementation course is $249 Other costs likely to be incurred before tuition is collected will be a website, state filing, a sampling of books, and possibly a CPA or lawyer fee. All costs are reimbursable as business expenses, once revenue is collected.
