Upon enrollment, each family is responsible for the following fees:

Joining fee of $2,200 for new students and $1,100 for siblings of currently enrolled students (One-time new student joining fee of $2,200: The fee is a one-time payment made to cover costs associated with processing enrollment, setting up student accounts, technology setup, and other administrative overhead, providing necessary materials or services. The fee ensures smooth onboarding of new students and supports the infrastructure needed to facilitate their educational journey.)

 

Annual administration fee of $300 (This fee is charged once at the beginning of the school year to all enrolled students. It contributes to the costs of daily snacks, classroom activities, expenses related to field trips, and hosting guest speakers, enriching the overall educational experience for students throughout the year.)

All fees and tuition are nonrefundable and nontransferable.

The Co-op School offers a 10% sibling discount to families with more than one student enrolled at the school.

Through annual fundraising efforts, The Co-op School is able to offer financial aid to some families who would not otherwise be able to join our school, and it is open to all prospective families. Families are notified about aid before the contracts are due. To apply for financial aid parents must complete a confidential application with School & Student Services. The application can be found here: Financial Aid Application.
