Our Fees
Since the 2020 school year, our Board of Trustees has opted in to receive $150 per student, per year, if they agree not to ask parents and caregivers for donations. While this doesn't cover the full cost of our learning program, we will no longer be billing parents for curriculum-related costs.
Attendance Dues will still need to be paid as well as stationary, opt-in activities, and school-related camps that aren't compulsory or directly connected to the curriculum program.
