We Can Help You Become A Massage Therapist

Alpha School of Massage began in 1992 making us the oldest massage school in NE Florida with over 30 years of experience and over 2000 graduates. We graduated 89 students in 2023 from our home campus Jacksonville Florida. We are bringing that experience to Northern, Virginia where we are approved by the State Council for Higher Education For Virginia. We have the experience, the approvals, and the graduates to prove we are your choice for massage education in Northern, Virginia.



Affordable

Traditionally Massage Schools are more than $10,000 and require Student Loans for most to afford it. Not at Alpha. Our tuition in Virginia is just $4600. In addition to our low cost we have teamed up with Hand & Stone, a nationwide spa, to offer scholarships to help reduce cost. Students must apply for scholarships. If accepted you may reduce your tuition by over $2000. Scholarships are limited so Alpha School of Massage offers payment plans to keep massage school accessible to everyone. You can pay over 12 months with tuition payments deferred until the program is completed.
