Costs
Registration and Tuition
There is a $100 annual registration fee when you join SCPENS. It covers your entire family. Tuition varies, depending on the number of days attending and the number of children enrolled in the program. Tuition is billed monthly and is due on the first of the month. Please see the sidebar for current tuition costs.
Parents, and other adult family members taking part in our program, are parent education students and must register concurrently with Santa Cruz Adult School. The cost of the Adult School registration is included in the SCPENS registration fee.
Fundraising
Our active fundraising program ensures the success of our school. Each family is expected to participate in fundraising activities.
