How to Register for Homeschool Classes

NEW Students: Registration for Spring 2010 classes begins Saturday, March 13.
Registration for new students opens approximately 3 weeks before each 10-week series begins. Please join our mailing list to be notified when registration opens (see the Join Our Mailing List signup box at right).

Continuing Students: Priority Registration period ends on Friday, March 12. Students who attended the previous 10-week homeschool series receive priority when registering for the next class series. See below for details.

Three ways to register and pay tuition: Online Payment; Check or Money Order; Charter School Purchase Order (there is no phone registration).

1. Online Payment -- Please note: We also receive mail-in registrations, so the web site may not reflect the actual number of spaces available. If the class you want is full, we'll put you on the waiting list and notify you by email.

• Download and fill out the Registration Form (it's an MS Word fill-in form). This is NOT the same as the PayPal payment page. The Registration Form must be filled out and emailed separately.
• You can also request an alternate class on your registration form. Just write "ALT" in the Tuition field for that line. If the class you want is full, we'll apply your payment to the alternate class and notify you by email. If you don't select an alternate, we'll put you on the waiting list.
• Send the form as an email attachment to our registrar.
• Select your class and submit your tuition through PayPal using the form at the bottom of this page (PayPal account not required). Credit Card payments are only accepted through PayPal.
• If we are not able to place your child in a class, we'll refund your payment in full.
• Your registration is not complete until you receive an email from us confirming that your child has been registered in the class(es) you requested.

2. Check or Money Order -- Please note: Registration is first-come, first-served, based on receipt of payment. We also receive online registrations, so the class you request may be full by the time we receive your check. If so, we'll put you on the waiting list and notify you by email.

• Download and fill out the Registration Form (it's an MS Word fill-in form).
• You can also request an alternate class on your registration form. Just write "ALT" in the Tuition field for that line. If the class you want is full, we'll apply your payment to the alternate class and notify you by email. If you don't select an alternate, we'll put you on the waiting list.

Priority Registration for continuing students opens approximately two weeks before general registration opens. (Summer camp students do not receive priority for homeschool classes -- these are separate class series.)Students who attended the previous 10-week Homeschool Series will be notified by email and will have automatic priority if they’re continuing in the same time slot. You do NOT need to fill out a registration form (unless you’ve changed your address, phone, email, emergency contact, etc.). Simply email us your child’s name and the class you want (include title, day and time). We’ll hold their place until general registration opens, and if we haven’t received your tuition by then, their place goes to the first person on the waiting list.

Continuing students who want to switch to a different time slot, and siblings of continuing students, will be placed on a priority waitlist (siblings only, not relatives or friends). At the end of the Priority Registration period, we’ll add them to the class list on a space-available basis before registering new students. NOTE: If you want to switch your child to a different time slot, we’ll hold their place in their current class until we’re sure there’s a space for them in the other one. If you’re registering additional siblings, please fill out a registration form. Please include an alternate choice in case the class you want is full. (You can request this in the Comments box on PayPal.)
