Yes, you can adjust the schedule, provided we have availability on the days you’d like to attend. We need a minimum of one week notice to adjust the schedule. If the change would result in an increase of tuition, that payment needs to be made before the change goes into effect. If the change would decrease your child’s time on campus, there are typically no refunds.
Yes. Families select 1-3 consistent days per week for the 12-week session. Changes may be possible depending on availability.
Students choose their activities freely, including art, music, reading, technology, games, outdoor play, workshops, projects, and social time. Students might also choose to participate in a field trip, or help organize one! A sample weekly rhythm is available in the weekly schedule section.Â
We live in a digital world and as a self-directed school that honors life-learning, we acknowledge that technology is an important tool for our kids to grasp. Additionally, there are positive aspects of technology, such as lessons learned in gaming, learning new information from videos, and connecting with friends. However, we also have seen the negative impacts of personal devices on our community as students default to scrolling instead of leaning into boredom and finding something to engage with. We have also seen relationships between students become neglected when kids choose to spend more time on personal devices than interacting with their peers.Â
Due to this journey, we have arrived at a few technology policies that parents should be aware of:
Â
Our technology policy is subject to change and there can be personalized restrictions for students who demonstrate an inability to access the internet responsibly at school.
There are volunteer opportunities for parents who are willing to work with students in a manner that aligns with our program. For the most part, the purpose of our programs is to provide opportunities for students to grow in independence. This can be undermined by the continuous presence of a parent. However, we also acknowledge that some students may need time to adjust to being in a new environment and having a parent around for a period of time can help them in that adjustment.
Part of the admissions process is a tour and an interview. The tour is designed to give you a good sense of what it is like to spend time on campus. The interview is where we go more in depth about your family and the values and expectations of the program. This is to determine if there is a good fit between the program and your needs. We cannot offer trial days or weeks because of the disruption to the school and the additional attention needed from staff.
Our main program is a full-time school, and that school community and culture is vital to our organization. Students who come for short periods and then leave are disruptive to the rest of our community. Additionally, new students require extra staff time and attention as they adjust to our program. We invest heavily when new students start, so we need to know that they will stick around after that initial startup period.
Yes, families may choose to use the enrichment program as a pathway to full-time enrollment. Students in our enrichment program will receive priority enrollment in the full-time program and the length of their enrollment contract will take into account their history with the school.
