Exam: The exam will take place at the end of the term and will include questions from all the Required Readings with a choice of questions on the Holiday and Evening Readings. The student will be able to choose whichever question regards the Evening Reading that the student chose.
We will use Schoology.com to assign readings, submit assignments, and readings outside of the books set for the term may be used.
Once a student is registered for a course, a document with a full syllabus and a course specific Schoology code allowing the student to access the Canvas course page will be sent via email.
There are two payment options for each course:
- $400.00 payment paid at initial registration
- $450.00 paid in three installments of $150.00
- There are multi-student discounts for families: 2Students for two/ 3Students for three
When you purchase a space in any course, you are reserving a student’s space for the entire school year. Thus, by selecting either payment option, the purchaser is agreeing to pay for the entire course amount, whether the student completes the full year or not. This means that the one time amount of $400.00, or the 3 payments of $150.00 ($450.00 total) are to be paid in full regardless of student’s participation or lack thereof, as spaces are reserved at the beginning of the year and adjustments to class number cannot be made during the school year.
