Fees
Registration, building usage fees, custodial fees and class fees are all non-refundable. All of these fees will be assessed when you register your students for their classes for the school year.
Set Fees:
- A $40 per family fee which covers registration, cleaning costs for the facility, and other miscellaneous fees.
- The building usage fee (we pay this to the church for use of their facility) is $50/student/school year or a maximum of $250 per school year per family.
Variable Fees:
Class fees for individual classes are assessed by each teacher.
Payment of Fees:
Fees may be paid by cash, check, or Paypal. Fees are non-refundable and not prorated.
Explanation of Fees:
We aim to minimize expenses. The co-op does not employ parents as teachers. Co-op teachers volunteer their time and expertise free of charge; they may be certified teachers, but most are parents with a degree, knowledge or passion for a subject. Currently, the cost of co-op consists of a family registration fee, custodial fee, facility rental fee, any book costs required by classes, and any additional supplies fees. The family registration fee pays for incidental co-op needs. The facility rental fee goes directly to the church to pay for wear and tear on the building. Individual class fees go to teachers and pay exclusively for class materials, such as science supplies, craft materials, or handouts. Some classes, such as art and science, are supply-intensive. Also, some teachers may copy online materials for their students rather than use textbooks.
