1. Go to the checkout form.

2. Select the times and locations for your class(es) from the drop down bar.

3. If you believe you're entitled to a discount, write us a message at help@modernbrain.com. We'll send you a coupon--personalized to you--to deduct the cost of your credit from the classes you want to select. Our coupon-based discounts include:

   1. EARLY BIRD: If payment and registration are completed before April 6, 2026, you get a 10% early bird discount (automatically reflected in the sales link below).

   2. EARLY BIRD #2: If payment and registration are completed before May 15, 2026, you get a 5% early bird discount (automatically reflected in the sales link below).

   3. MULTI-CLASS: If you register for two summer classes, you get a 20% discount on the second class. The discount applies to the less expensive of the two classes.

   4. COLLEGE: If a student signs up for a college counseling package (not a private session) and another ModernBrain class, including a Nationals Team competition class (in the same year), they are entitled to an additional 5% discount on the other ModernBrain class (one per semester).

   5. PRIOR CLASS CREDIT: if you have class credit with us, let us know so we can deduct it from your total before you make a purchase.

4. All of our classes are discounted if students join after the start of the semester. This discount roughly matches the prorated value of the class in addition to (1) the time a teacher must take to update a student on the class's expectations and (2) access to the lesson material they missed. Join any time!

5. You must sign up and pay for a class at least 48 hours before attending that class. If you would like to purchase a class and attend class the same day, please call us at 1-707-466-6686. We need this time to make sure there is room in the class and, if not, to add another teacher.

6. Pay for your class(es). You'll receive an email confirmation.

7. Roughly a week prior to the class's start time, you'll receive a welcome email with any additional information you need to participate (if you're registering after the class's start time, this timetable will vary).
