Most classes are one and a half hours long and will cost $270 for the year. Lab and copy fees are on top of the class fee. The payments are to be made in advance of the year or in 6 equal payments beginning in August. Payments and contracts are made directly with the teacher. Individual teacher biographies, class descriptions, tuition rates and supply lists can be found on the Course Schedule page. Just click a teacher's name to find out about their class.
Elementary classes will be paid in 1 ½ hour blocks; you may sign up for only the ones you want for your child. The Physics class is two hours long and will cost $300 for the year. Mr. Chase’s classes are run every other week and he will set the price.
There is a fee of $25 per family, in cash, to join the co-op. Official sign ups will begin Monday, May 21 at Banner Church from 9-11a.m. and again Monday, June 25 from 6-8p.m. Teachers will be there to talk to you. If you have any questions please call Leisa Gustafson at 616-554-7018 or e- mail her at leisa6@netpenny.net.
PTC will hold classes for 1 week after registering without payment of the $25 registration fee. After that, your classes will be dropped and others will be allowed to take your place.
Absence Policy
You child may be dropped if he or she is absent for 3 consecutive classes without notice to the teacher. Families do have to pay for the whole year regardless if their student comes or not, unless they have made individual arrangements with the tutor.
Grading Scale
Each tutor will give percentages for each assignment and most will average for the year, but the parents give the letter grades since they are responsible for their child's education. Homework is mandatory if it is given.
Bad Weather Policy
If the weather is bad and the Home School Building closes (many times it will be announced at the bottom of the screen on channel 8) then we will shut down also. We will not make up the class time unless there are 2 missed days.
