Cost of Registration:
At CCA, we handle our fees a bit differently than many homeschool tutorials and co-ops. We have very low registration fees, so the money you pay to CCA goes to the teachers for the classes you want your students to take. Our teachers will pitch in and get the work done, so the fees balance out very well.
Registration at CCA is only
$275 for 1 student,
$325 for 2 students, or
$375 for 3 or more students in your family.
Upon Registering your student, you will also be asked to contribute $25 per student for the year to pay a local police officer to be on campus at all times during CCA classes. This $25 per student fee covers the cost of an off-duty police officer during the entire school year and will be collected on registration day with other tuition and registration fees. The $25 is payable to CCA, and CCA will pay the police officer each month.
This registration fee will pay for school t-shirts, a few things to play with outside, rent, toilet paper, soap, paper towels, cleaning supplies, general operating supplies, etc.
Yes, those registration fees include a t-shirt for each student registered with CCA! (Parents may opt to purchase a t-shirt for themselves as well at $12 each for adult sizes S to XL.)
Tuition and Class Fees:
Kindergarten is a 3-hour block, and is $448 a year.
CCA Classes for grades 1 through 4 are $176 per year, per class. Each class is one hour and goes for 24 weeks of the school year.
Classes for grades 5 through 12 at CCA are 30 weeks in length and cost $230 per year, per class, for a one-hour class. One semester classes for grades 5 through 12 are subsequently $115. The Upper Elementary Core (UEC) classes on Thursday for 4th-6th graders are also $230 per year, per class.
Tuition checks are written directly to each individual teacher.
Each elementary level CCA class will also have a class materials fee associated with that class. The material fees for elementary grades depend on the class and the materials used. Teachers will use this to supply any copies and additional materials (beyond regular school supplies that students will bring, such as notebooks and pens). Keep in mind this replaces the need for purchasing a textbook in these subjects.
Each Jr high and high school class will typically require a textbook to be purchased for each student. Teachers will inform you of textbook requirements in the online description of their class. Many of these also require a materials fee to cover the cost of supplies needed for class (such as wood for woodworking and science lab items, etc.).
Individual class materials fees, in addition to any required textbooks or materials parents need to purchase before school starts, is included in the online class description.
Class materials fees are required at registration, so our teachers can finalize lesson plans, make copies, and purchase materials over the summer, to be prepared before classes begin.
Class material fees listed are per student, per year.
All elementary students will need to come to classes with markers, scissors, pencils/pens, two glue sticks, and crayons for grades 1-6. Please be sure all crayons, markers, and glue sticks are washable. These can be stored in a schoolbox and/or backpack students can bring to CCA every Friday. Some classes may require a specific supply to be brought from home, such as a 3-ring binder to put all papers in, or a notebook, a Bible, etc. Addtional materials needed for each class is listed in the online class description.
Study Hall:
If a 7th – 12th grade student has a one-hour free period in their schedule, given that they are registered for a class before and after that hour, that student is permitted to attend “study hall.” 7th & 8th graders choosing to take a study hall hour will be charged $100, due on registration day. 9th – 12th graders can sign up for one hour of study hall at no extra charge. We feel that students in grades 7 and older do not need monitoring the way younger students would, so they are given this privilege with the understanding that they are to remain in Study Hall under staff supervision, and will not be allowed to roam the building or outside during school hours. This is to help parents who want their child to take a class, for example, at the first and third period of the day, but do not wish to sign up for anything offered in 2nd period. It is not provided for a “social hour” but only out of absolute necessity. Every student is only allowed one free period per day. Only students listed on the Study Hall roster for each hour will be allowed to remain. If a junior high or high school student were to abuse the trust we have placed in them to be self-sufficient during that hour, they would not be allowed to stay during their free period. We have excellent students and outstanding families at CCA, and do not expect this to ever become an issue.
Elementary students must be in a class every hour they are at CCA. They are not permitted to take a “study hall hour.” Parents need to pick up their student promptly at the end of their last class. If there is a gap in the student’s schedule, a parent must pick up the child and then bring him back at the beginning of the next scheduled class.
