Choice Education Network, Inc offers "NETWORK DAYS" where families may pay monthly flat rates to attend one or more classes with options the whole family can enjoy! With no long term commitments or contracts, families may participate on a semester by semester basis and most classes are available for a "preview/trial" by appointment only. Semesters run 12 weeks in the Spring and 12 weeks in the Fall with mini sessions available in the summer.
We network with local businesses to bring special classes & workshops to our community. Our activities committee works to schedule special events and outings that are open first, to our Network Day families and then to the general homeschool community (additional fees may apply to some field trips). Park meet-ups and general gatherings are typically open to anyone available and wanting to meet.
Each semester a combination of volunteers and network partners work together to offer a variety of classes to help supplement and support our homeschool and virtual school students while providing an opportunity for parents to connect. We combine the "power of co-op" with the advantages of being a nonprofit organization to find balance in providing affordable options to our community.
Spring 2021 Pricing:
Family Facility Fee (Per Semester): $60.00 per family, non refundable after January 21st.
General Student Supply Fee (Per Semester): $10.00 per enrolled student, non refundable after January 21st.
Monthly Tuition Rates:
$80 for families with up to 3 enrolled students (billed in full at $240 with 3-pay installments permitted);
$100 for families with 4-6 enrolled students (billed in full at $300 with 3-pay installments permitted);
$120 for families with 7 or more enrolled students (billed in full at $360 with 3-Pay installments permitted).
Tuition is only charged for sessions in which Network Day classes are offered. Spring 2021 session is February 4th - April 29th (advanced choirs and drama productions may have performances through May 15th). Spring break week is March 22.
When are fees due?
Facility and supply fees are due TWO WEEKS BEFORE your student's first scheduled class or at the time of enrollment. Spring 2021 is due on January 21st for classes starting February 4th or due at time of enrollment for students enrolling on or after January 21st. Facility and supply fees are NON REFUNDABLE after January 21st.
NOTICE REGARDING FEES: Our facility and general supply fees provide the budget to START our programs, but do not provide budget to cover all supplies for 12 weeks. Please watch for Sign Up Genius supply list to help fulfill additional needs.
Choir and drama classes have their MAXIMUM supply fees listed in class descriptions and this fee will be added upon enrollment. Please wait to pay these additional fees until classes have begun as participation greatly affects the total supply cost (the more participation, the LOWER the material fees). Choir and drama programs have minimum participation enrollment of 8 and fees are listed using our minimum enrollment needs.
As a general rule, as participation in our programs increase, our tuition fees cover the extra supply/material and facility costs more easily. So ... the more families participating the less our families need to pay and eventually "extra" fees are absorbed.
Divide your total fees by 12 weeks and you'll find that you can't beat our rates for your ENTIRE family to participate in up to 5 hours of quality community classes and activities your children will love.
In addition to Network Days, Choice Education Network, Inc offers meet-ups, social events and field trip opportunities "at cost" to all homeschoolers. (Meaning if it doesn't cost US anything, it won't cost YOU anything for these extra activities). Our admis work hard to find the best QUALITY deals for our families. If it's not "good enough" for our family, it's not "good enough" for yours.
Monthly tuition
While monthly installments are permitted, the expectation is that families will complete the 12 week session. We offer three participation levels (outlined above). Fees are billed upfront for the full 12 weeks and allow families to make "partial payments" or "installments" each month in their parent portal. Accounts are expected to be paid in full by week 9. Please contact our administrators if alternate payment dates are needed.
During C19 restrictions where "shut downs" are possible, we discourage families from paying tuition "in full" at this time. Please pay facility and supply fees in full and make your monthly installments for tuition either in person or through the parent portal. Families may elect to have their credit/debit/ACH account billed automatically upon request.
Enrollment
We anticipate families will stay for the full 12 week semester. Once the first class has met and rosters are solidified, budgets are dispersed and teachers are given their budgets for classroom planning. In the event your family wishes to discontinue classes, please let our administrators know as soon as possible. We cannot offer tuition refunds and will ask families to complete their financial obligations to the best of their abilities.
As a nonprofit organization, our fees are structured according to our needs and anticipated participation. Funds are not permitted to be used as "bonuses" to staff, volunteers, etc. and ALL funds support our organizational needs.
How long are Network Days?
Spring 2021 schedule will offer a 5 hour community day (10am-12pm class blocks, 12-1pm community lunch, 1pm-3pm class blocks). Families may participate in as many, or as few, classes as they desire for the monthly rate as space is available.
Class changes after the first week must be approved by an administrator. Auditing/Trial classes are approved by administrators on a case by case basis.
