Tuition for 2022-2023 School Year


As a nonprofit school, we try to charge the lowest possible amount for tuition that we can. 
We use a formula to calculate the minimum amount of tuition that we need to pay teachers along with basic programming costs.  We break our cost down into a daily rate, and use a formula to calculate tuition.

We want our program to be affordable to as many families as possible. 

The highest end of the sliding scale actually represents and covers the cost of paying our teachers and keeping the lights on.  That’s why our school relies so heavily on fundraising. It literally helps cover basic programming costs.  The lower end of the tuition scale helps families who can’t pay a full tuition still be able to attend.

We also offer a “pay it forward” option for families who are able to contribute a little more to cover the costs for other families.
We realize that in our rural community, where so many families are self-employed, having our school be as affordable as possible allows us to serve more families and children.  We definitely don’t fit the stereotypes of a private school!  We fundraise to be able to fill the gap between what we receive in tuition and our actual operating costs.
