Co-op Policies (Condensed)

General Information:

Classes are held on Mondays, August through April.

We break for Labor Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas/New Year's, and Spring Break.

• All participants must be current GRACE members.
• All classes are intended to be a drop-off class.
• All parents are required to fill a mandatory duty during the co-op year. 

Ages of students:

Preschool students must be potty trained and are typically ages 3-*5.

Elementary students are ages *5-12, or roughly K/1st through *6th grade; classes will be taught by age rather than grade level.

Middle and High school students are considered those in *6th through 12th grade.

A child must be the listed age/grade level of a class on or before the first day of classes.

Class structure:

Class periods will last 55 minutes with a 5-minute break in between. 

Membership:

• a family registration fee of $20/family per year,
• a director fee of $20/family (per year)
• a $50 gift to our host facility 
• In the event of an emergency (unforeseen maintenance repair), we may request/require a small additional charge per family. This will cover any damage to the building, plumbing, or unexpected maintenance cost. *If your child/children intentionally or unintentionally damage the property of our host church, your family will be solely responsible for the monetary cost to repair the damage.

Refund Policy:

• If you decide to withdraw your child from ALL classes prior to the first day of the semester you may expect a 100% refund of that semester's family registration fee and any class tuition that you may have paid. Class supply fees, director fee, and the host facility's gift are non-refundable at any time.
• If you decide to withdraw your child for any reason prior to week 4 you may expect a 50% refund of any class tuition that has been paid which your child will not attend. Any registration fees will not be refunded.
• If you decide to withdraw your child for any reason after week 4 of the semester you will not receive a refund of any kind, and the remaining balance for the month will be due upon withdrawal.

Dress Code:

Students and parents will be required to follow our dress code for modesty.
