Character is appealing to many families because of our low costs. Families are charged per family at a rate of $430 for the 2023-2024 school year. This covers building rent, Moodle (online classroom platform) membership, insurance, state fees, payment processing fees, social events, cleaning and office supplies, gifts, website, and school equipment needs. 

​

In addition to the membership dues families are responsible for purchasing curriculum and classroom supplies. 

​

Optional expenses: Once a month Character offers "Lunches for You". Families may choose to order lunch from Chick-fil-a or Costco (pizza) on these special lunch days, at the expense of the family. 

​

Varying expenses: Occasionally Character will hire an outside teacher for high school classes when a teacher is needed. Usually this happens when there is not a qualified parent within the co-op to teach a high-level class, such as Spanish or Calculus. Generally this cost is $10 per child per week, depending on the number of students enrolled in the class. For these classes, we have allowed students outside of our co-op to attend to help lower the cost for Character families. 

​

Additionally, lab or supply fees can be an additional expense for classes such as robotics, science, and art.

If you still have questions about the costs, please let us know.
