3rd
- 6th GRADE PROGRAM / FEES
Enrollment: Acceptance into C.E.A. is based on one’s homeschool experience, application, interview, and the academic readiness of the student. It is subject to review each year. Enrollment of your child is a financial commitment to our program for a period of one full year.
Attendance: C.E.A.'s school calendar will be provided at the beginning of each term. Class meets from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. Students should not be dropped off before 7:50 a.m. and parents are asked to be prompt in picking up their children by noon each day.
Class Size: Small classes help ensure an excellent learning environment for our students. Our goal is to provide a low teacher/pupil ratio with no more than twelve students per grade school class. The Board reserves the right to increase this ratio slightly as needed.
Fees: An annual enrollment fee of $75 is charged for each child. The curriculum/book fees will be approximately $240 - $300 depending on the class. This includes a $100 student fee for liability insurance, yearbook, shipping costs, copier/printer expenses, etc. If parents wish to supply any of the required books, the Curriculum Credit Form must be submitted to the Office by June 10 to receive credit on your book fees. Any book orders received after June 10 will incur an additional $25 fee. A deposit of $150 is due for books at enrollment with the remainder of the fees paid by July 1.
Tuition:
Tuition is to be paid over a 10-month period beginning in June. For grades 3 - 6, the tuition for 2005-2006 is $1,600 ($160/month). Payment is due on the first of each month. Parents are required to sign a Financial Agreement Form at enrollment, and parents understand the full year’s tuition is due even if they choose to withdraw their child from the program. (Tuition is subject to change each year.)
Grades: Teachers maintain records of each child's grades. Report cards are issued at the end of each nine-week period. Two parent/teacher conferences are scheduled each year.
Dress Code: Students are required to be clean, neat and modest in appearance. Clothing, accessories, and jewelry must not be a distraction or hindrance to the learning process. C.E.A.'s detailed dress code will be provided in the Parent Handbook.
Parental Involvement: Due to C.E.A.’s unique structure, parents must be willing and able to give considerable time and effort to support their child’s learning. Parents work with the classroom teacher to ensure optimum learning. They assist by grading certain papers, reviewing material with the child, introducing new math concepts as needed, and enhancing the program as desired. Parents must recognize that they remain “homeschoolers” even though they participate in C.E.A.’s program. Each family will be required to help with at least one C.E.A. activity per child per year. Sign-up sheets for volunteer positions are circulated at the beginning of each school term. Parents are also expected to sign up for summer work sessions prior to the beginning of classes.
