Our school community comes together once a year to decide what cost structure we will be using in the next, and time and time again we have opted to offer lower tuition rates to families who could not otherwise attend our school. Because the vast majority of our families are middle or lower income families, we can't afford to increase the standard tuition in order to make up the difference for those who pay less.

It is because of ordinary people with big hearts giving small amounts monthly that we are able to keep our doors open to families who need a break. Individual contributions make a very large difference in the lives of our students and their families, in fact, they make all the difference.

Sponsor the Earned Discount Program

Each family on the Earned Discount Program gives fifteen hours of voluntary work per month to earn their tuition reduction, and instead of paying $4,875.00 for the year, they only pay $3,300.00 (that's $275.00 per month). The difference between what they pay and what they would pay is $1,575.00. As a community we have to find a way to make up the difference, if we are going to be able to keep our school accessible to families who are willing to put in the hours.

How you can help:

For every three people who pledge to donate $50.00 per month in sponsorship of the Earned Discount Program, we are able to afford giving another family the chance to attend at the earned discount program rate. If you are able to contribute in this way, you can bet there will be a very thankful family on the other end of your contribution.

Or, of course you could pledge to sponsor an entire family for $1,575.00, a monumental gift with an even greater impact.

Sponsor the Getting to Yes Program

For some families, especially for single working parents, being asked to volunteer to earn a discount is not a real option. They are already tapped out working full time, trying to make bills and raise the kids, and simply don't have the time to volunteer, but also can't pay the standard tuition rate. It would be a miss for us to turn these families away.

The Getting to Yes Program allows families to submit their financial information, and negotiate a lower than standard tuition rate without the obligation of doing volunteer time (though many still volunteer when they are able). This program is our newest attempt at making our school more accessible, but requires quite a bit of work to keep it open. The average amount we need to make up per student in this program is about $2,700.00

How you can help:

For every three people who pledge $75.00 per month in sponsorship of the Getting to Yes Program, we are able to afford giving another family the chance to attend at a customized and workable rate, in short, we are able to get to a Yes. If you can contribute in this way, you will surly become one student's (and their parent's) hero.

And of course, you could pledge to sponsor one whole family on your own for $2,700.00, the impact of which is one of the greatest our donors can have.
