Schedule of Tuition and Fees 2010-2011

Longview offers three main educational tracks.  Each family can choose the track which best fits with its educational approach.  Individuation and customization is also possible within each track. 

Sudbury/Unschooling:  Students have the most ability to choose their own educational paths.  Students can take as few or as many classes as they so choose. 

Exposure:  Students take classes in a range of academics but are required to do limited homework.

Regents:  Students take Regents classes and exams, and are regularly required to complete homework assignments.

Refund Policy

Regardless of tuition payment schedule, enrollment commits families to paying tuition (based upon number of days of attendance for which s/he registers) for the entire school year. 

Payment Procedure

Each family is required to sign a commitment with FACTS, a tuition management service which requires automated payments, and to pay the annual fee of not more than $50 for this service. 

Fundraising

Each family is required to participate in two fundraisers each school year and to fundraise by selling a minimum of $300 in something of the school’s choice ($400 if two enrolled children, $500 if three or more enrolled children).  Any family which does not meet the minimum must meet the requirement by purchasing the items itself.
