Service:  Families are asked to contribute a minimum of 5 hours of volunteer service per term.  (Service completed by families reduces the schools costs and ultimately tuition).  These hours maybe bought out at a rate of $10/hour, though participation is encouraged. There are many types of volunteer services that any family member may provide.   Fundraising: Families are asked to contribute to the group fundraising endeavors of $600 per term.  Families have the option of buying out their fundraising contribution at a cost of $300 for the year, or $100/term registered.  Fee:  There is a one-time registration fee of $125.00/family. This fee is a long-term investment in the school, allows us to provide for all the students supply needs and includes a family membership.   DISCOUNTS Barter-Exchange Program: Any family may apply to reduce their child's tuition through the barter-exchange program. This option is available if you provide necessary services that are in our expense budget or provide services that generate growth and income for the school. We value these services at $10/hour. Family Discount: 10% off tuition costs for each additional child. Early Registration:  Families that pay the years tuition by August 15 receive a 3% discount.   Click here to download a registration form Become a Member Families not enrolled in The Forest School, but interested in being a part of the Forest School community, may pay a $35 membership fee. This fee will allow families to access programs, workshops, field trips and special events organized through the Forest School at a discounted members rate. In addition, members may book The Forest School for personal gatherings and workshops at a minimal fee/donation.
