Tuition & Fees

Yearly Per-Child Registration Fee: $50.00

Yearly Per-Class Materials Fee: Each class carries a one-time materials fee, listed with the class descriptions.  Students who drop a class either before the year starts or without trying that class for four weeks and/or don't add a replacement class will not be reimbursed their Material Fee.  Material Fees have been substantially reduced. The majority of classes will have a fee of $10. Classes using more supplies such as Science, Drama, Art, and Cooking will be higher (as indicated in class descriptions). Material Fees will be included with tuition invoices and spread out over 11 months beginning July 1st 2008 until May 1st 2009.  If a student starts after September/08 material fees will be spread out over the remaining  months along with tuition until May 1st 2009.

Late Payments
We operate on a tight budget and are not able to pay our teachers until we have collected tuition! A late fee of $15.00 will be added to all payments received after the due date. In addition, families who are behind in payments by two months or more may not be able to remain in our program.

Summer Registration: To register over the summer for the 2008/09 year, we require the $50 per-child Registration Fee and a $75 per-family Deposit.  The deposit will then be deducted from your last (May) month's tuition.  Monthly tuition & material fees payments will be spread out over 11 months. The first payment will be due on July 1st 2008 and the last payment will be due May 1st 2009.

Fall/Winter/Spring Registration: To register after the year has begun, we require the $50 per-child Registration Fee, $75 per-family Deposit, and first month's tuition.  Monthly payments will be spread out over the remaining  months of classes. The first payment will be due the day you start your class and the last payment will be due May 1st 2009.

Please note: Registration Fees will not be reimbursed unless your child is closed out of classes or the classes are cancelled.
Due to the amount of time involved in making class changes, a $15 Change Fee will be charged for every class changed after July 1.

The money we receive for tuition does not cover all our costs.  We depend on donations of either time or money (or both!) from our families. We require every family to take on a family job of 30 hours over the course of the year or pay a $25 monthly fee. Families with students taking 3 hours or less per week pay $15 per month or take on a family job of 10 hours over the year.
