Affordable on purpose · A tu alcanceA bilingual, Christ-centered education within reach.
Your child's education is your greatest investment. Sol & Son is an approved Direct Payment School for the NC Opportunity Scholarship, so state funds go straight toward tuition — and for many Franklin families, that changes everything.
Four scholarship tiers.
The NC Opportunity Scholarship is open to all NC K–12 students regardless of income. Awards run $3,578–$7,942 per student, per year — so your out-of-pocket cost depends on your household income tier.
- Middle income band
- Award ≈ $6,300 / year
- Upper-middle income band
- Award ≈ $4,700 / year
- Income up to ~$275K (family of 4)
- Award ≈ $3,578 / year
Figures shown are representative examples for 2026–27 Elementary (K–2nd) and depend on household income tier, family size, and eligibility. They are not a guarantee of award. Find your approximate tier in NCSEAA's award-tiers chart or confirm current amounts at k12.ncseaa.edu.
What's included — and what's extra.
Elementary tuition for 2026–27 is $8,470 for the full year before any scholarship. That covers instruction, project-based curriculum, and the Friday virtual day for K and up. A short list of fees sits on top.
- Two-way immersion instruction, Mon–Thu 8:30–2:30
- Project- (mission-) based elementary curriculum
- Friday virtual day programming (Kindergarten & up)
- Christ-centered character formation woven throughout

Pre-K Enrichment vs. Elementary.
Pre-K is the half-day on-ramp into immersion. Elementary (K and up) is the full-day heart of the school — and where new students enroll by 1st grade.
Pre-K Enrichment
Play-based, 90% Spanish. Sibling discounts for full-time students: $25/mo for the first sibling, $18/mo for the second, $10/mo for the third and beyond — and children of our teachers attend at 50% off.
Elementary (K–2nd)
Full-day, project-based, plus the Friday virtual day. New students enroll at or before 1st grade so the immersion foundation builds from the start.
Pre-K and scholarships: what to know
The NC Opportunity Scholarship is a K–12 program, so it doesn't apply to Pre-K Enrichment. We do accept applications for private scholarships provided by grants and community donors — these are for preschool-aged students and are awarded based on availability of funds and the financial need of the family. Pre-K scholarship recipients volunteer at all fundraising events and once a month at the school.
One more avenue: some employers offer a Health Care FSA, a pre-tax savings account for families that they can use for preschool and childcare expenses. Ask your employer if this benefit is offered to you, or learn more at fsafeds.gov.
From application to approved — in four steps.
For qualifying families, the scholarship can cover up to 94% of K–12 tuition here. The priority window to apply runs February 2 – March 2 each year — and if you missed it, apply anyway. You could still receive the scholarship after priority has passed.
Check eligibility
Every NC K–12 student can apply, regardless of income. Your household income tier sets your award amount.
Apply through NCSEAA
