7. Leases

The Company has operating leases for off-campus classroom and laboratory sites, office space, office equipment, and optical fiber communication lines. These leases have remaining lease terms that range from five months to 10 years and six months. At lease inception, we determine the lease term by assuming no exercises of renewal options due to the Company’s constantly changing geographical needs for its university partners. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded in the consolidated balance sheets and we recognize lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company had operating lease costs of $4,502 and $4,339 for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

As of March 31, 2026, the Company had $28,961 of non-cancelable operating lease commitments for five off-campus classroom and laboratory sites that had not yet commenced. The Company’s weighted-average remaining lease term relating to its operating leases is 7.03 years, with a weighted-average discount rate of 4.45%. The cash paid for operating lease liabilities was $4,570 and $4,053 for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. As of March 31, 2026, the Company had no financing leases.
