Friday mornings in Mount Joy, PA.

Q:

A:

There are several ways to participate in LEC.

Family Registration:

-A yearly family fee of $225-$250, plus the cost of books and materials designated for each class. Additional opt-in activities (field trips, Spooky Nook classes) may also have a fee.

Paid Elective Program (PEP):

-A fee of $200* per year-long class for each student who registers, plus the cost of books and materials designated for each class. 

   *(or $80 for a fall semester class and $110 for a spring semester class)

Drama Program (Returning families, grades 7-12 only):

-$175 per cast member or $10 per stage crew member. Additional expenses for costume pieces may also arise.

Q:

A:

Our Paid Elective Program (PEP) is available for students in grades 7-12. Parents may choose to register their Junior and Senior High students on a class-by-class basis. Registration in LEC's PEP courses is not a Family Membership in the LEC Co-op, but rather an alternative option for families unable to make a deeper commitment to the LEC Co-op community. Parents may drop off their children just prior to their scheduled class(es), however, we do ask that parents promptly pick up their children after their last class. (Students with only a 1st and 3rd period class must sign up for Study Hall for 2nd period.)

Q:

A:

Yes. A parent from each family (usually Mom :) ) is asked to teach either a year-long course, or two separate one-semester courses. This only applies to those with a Family Registration. Parents of PEP students are not expected to teach. New moms are generally not expected to teach during their first semester at LEC, although occasionally it is necessary.

Q:

A:

Our co-op day is divided into three hours. The parent will teach during one hour, assist in a class during one hour, and participate in a moms’ fellowship time during her free period.

Q:

A:

Several times a year (2-3), each mom is asked to help provide a snack for the Mom's Room. 

Additional opportunities to volunteer to serve the group may arise, such as organizing the back-to-school picnic, coordinating family night, hosting moms’ night out, cleaning the nursery, etc.
