[CS4HS] [Yr11 Information Technology] Computational Thinking

[Nicky Ringland]

Hi Sylvia,

The discount is for all students who are signed up through a school.
 Students can also sign up and pay individually, though don't then have
access to the $30 discounted rate for a year's all-access subscription.
They can, however, sign up for a stream of the NCSS Challenge independently
($20) to try it out, and then if they wish to continue, pay the $10
difference through a school to upgrade their enrolment to all-access, for
all our courses and competitions for the year.  There is more information
on our pricing page <https://groklearning.com/pricing/>.

Kind regards,

Nicky
