How $100 covers a full year
A traditional school needs buildings, classrooms and a full teaching staff. Poema Academy needs none of these. Students learn from carefully chosen texts with patient AI tutors, overseen by our director, on software that costs us little or nothing to host. That is what lets a small gift go a long way.
| AI tutoring (about $5–6 a month) | $65 |
|---|---|
| Safety moderation and hosting | $10 |
| Books, course materials and program administration | $25 |
| Total | $100 |
For less than the cost of a single hour of private tutoring, a sponsor gives a student a full year of patient, one-on-one guidance. We track the actual tutoring cost for every student, and Class Sponsors and above receive an annual report on how their gift was used.
