​

TUItion + fees

We are forever balancing the reality of our tuition-centered budget (for now!) with our commitment to equity and access. We are committed to serving families from diverse socio-economic backgrounds and have never turned a family away for financial reasons. Our trust-based sliding scale tuition aims to meet families where they are financially.

​

The true cost of our program is $794/kid per month

​

We trust families to make tuition offers that both fit their budget and support the health and longevity of our program.  On each young person's application, families are asked to make a generous and sustainable offer. In some circumstances, our budget may require us to provide a counteroffer. We are also open to mutual aid bartering arrangements; let's talk about what's possible.

​

  • Program Schedule:Our program runs Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays 9am-3pm. Families can choose a fulltime schedule or 1-2 day options on Mondays and Wednesdays.

    • 2 days/week of enrollment: $320-$1200 per month
