Annual Registration Fee

The annual registration fee for ESCHEL is $75.00 per family ($77 if paid through Paypal). This nonrefundable fee must be paid as part of member registration -- before registering for classes.  Payment can be made by check or by Paypal.   

Class Tuition and Supply Fees

Class tuition and fees can be seen by clicking on individual classes in the matrix. Note that with the exception of semester-only courses, tuition and fees listed are annual amounts. 

Payments are to be made directly to each tutor or put in a tutor's folder. For other payment options, see the tutor's bio under  "Class Instructors" on the menu. To mail a check to a tutor, locate the tutor's address in the ESCHEL directory. The check should arrive by the due date.

Tuition and fees for all courses will be paid in two installments as follows:
1^st Installment (50%) due April 15
2^nd Installment (50%) due Sept. 1 or by the fall Parent Meeting.

All tuition must be paid before students attend class. If payments are not made on time, registration can be canceled. Refund policies are included in the class descriptions and are set by individual tutors.

*If you need an extension due to circumstances, you must communicate directly to the Treasurers, Jae or Kelli Ekblad, to determine a plan.*

Please note: The tutors have done their best to accurately estimate supplies and other class fees for the upcoming school year. These estimates are based on expected class enrollment. Class fees may be adjusted based on final enrollment. Class Fees cover supplies, room rental, conferences and other expenses for the tutors.

ESCHEL's program for elementary students is NOT a cafeteria-style program where you can choose individual courses. Our younger students benefit from participating in all courses for their grade level which allows for a consistent student group in a classroom atmosphere. Elementary students must be enrolled in all three core couses -- Writing, Art and Phy Ed. If not selected, Admin will override registration. There are often optional early morning and afternoon courses available for registration in addition to the core courses.

To see detailed information about courses, click on the Class Registration tab. Then click on individual courses in the class schedule for a description and tuition. 

Lunch: Elementary students are expected to eat outside or in the designated lunch room(s). All children 6th grade and younger must be supervised by a parent or other adult arranged by the parent after lunch if not registered for a class and/or waiting for an older student to finish. Kindergarten students must be picked up by an adult at the end of their class time. 

ESCHEL’s program for junior high and high school students is a la carte, meaning families can choose which classes their students take. We strongly encourage families to take advantage of each of the courses offered for their student’s grade level.  Doing this fosters a sense of community and provides academic challenge, giving students a solid foundation for future high school coursework.

Secondary students must be enrolled in a study hall if they are present at ESCHEL and not registered in a class.

Lunch: Secondary students are welcome to eat lunch from 1:00-1:30 pm either outdoors or in designated rooms. Students eating lunch at ESCHEL are expected to clean up after themselves.
