“The tuition for full-time students who are Arizona residents will be paid for by the state at no cost to families. Students who live in the US, but outside Arizona, will pay $9,900 per year tuition. Students who live outside the US will pay $12,900 per year.”

  That's too high if you are considering students from all over the world. Why should it be more for outside US students? OTOH, this looks promising (though I haven't read his 2012 book which spells out the 'vision'), and would be great if this can provide a framework for a democratized online schooling system with the flexibilities and features it provides.

    > That's too high if you are considering students from all over the world I think you under-estimate how much fancy schools cost worldwide. In Bangkok, for example, a very good British-style education will cost you $18k per year at Patana, and if you really want to flash your cash you can drop $30k at Shrewsbury (British) or $30k at ISB (American). I grew up as an expat kid, and this would have been a reasonable alternative for my parents, with the added bonus that I could have stayed with the same peer group and curriculum while they moved country. Socialisation would have been a bit harder but far from impossible. > Why should it be more for outside US students? My guess would be the US subsidises some aspect of this?

    I have also seen Universities in the US to charge higher tuition for foreign students. Not entirely sure why. Mostly seems like it is because they know they can, and those students will pay in full. With no tuition assistance or anything like that. In this case I am wondering if it could be related to needing additional staff to cover other time zones? Or maybe there are additional administrative paperwork needs for those students?

  Putting the FAQ under About Us definitely confused me a bit. I totally missed where the Tuition was and ended up out at ASU Prep which has slightly lower Tuition.

  Seems like a lot for online courses. You can do an in-person course for that money. On the other hand I think it is competitive with e.g. The Open University though who also charge the same fees as normal unis.
