K-8 Program Fees
The K-8 program is like an à la carte. There are a lot of different options so you can choose what is the best fit for your child. These are the main options, but we are open to chatting about others. It can be a puzzle so reach out with questions.
What does it cost to participate in the K-8 Program?
The K-8 program has a few different fees. We define them here.
Membership Fee: This is a one time annual fee paid at time of enrollment. The amount is currently $200. There is a $50 discount when enrolling a sibling. This fee pays for land use, administrative costs such as website, insurance, cleaning supplies, class supplies, and $50 for application processing. Membership fee is nonrefundable.
Class fee: Class costs vary depending on how many children are participating, and what classes you choose. Elective classes are $33/student/day. For beneficial student culture, we give priority to students who enroll for the entire 3 class elective block. The classes run for three months per session. Students are automatically enrolled in the next session unless given a month's notice that they will not be returning. Class fees are paid for in monthly payments. There is a flat class fee for each month and will vary depending on how many classes a week your child is enrolled. Class fees cover the cost of teacher compensation and guest teachers.
If you're on a budget, you have great flexibility to keep your costs down by choosing less classes or bartering.

Barters
Barters
We are out of the box thinkers and like to find ways to supplement tuition and honor your skills and talents. Please talk with us about arranging a barter. Some barters for the past have included massages, weekly sourdough bread, guitar lessons, family music class, reiki, accounting services, administration help, yard work, gift certificates to your business, oil changes, and much more.
Great creative and see if it's a good fit for both of our families.
