Registration fees are payable at the time the Application for Admission is submitted. If enrollment is denied, the registration fee will be returned. If you decide to cancel your enrollment after your application has been accepted, the registration fee will NOT be returned to you.

TUITION

Yearly tuition for K-8th is $80.00 for the first student and $40.00 for each additional student. K-8th tuition is due in 2 installments, half before the 1st semester begins and half before the 2nd semester begins.

QUARTERLY PAPERWORK

Student Report Cards and Progress Evaluations are due within 7 days of the end of each quarter. These must be the originals, not copies. We recommend that you make copies of everything you turn in for your personal records. If we do not receive your paperwork within 7 days of the end of the quarter or your paperwork is incomplete, there will be a $10.00 late fee per student. If your paperwork is still not turned in within 3 weeks of the end of the quarter, your student’s enrollment will be terminated.

PARENT/TEACHER SUPPORT

Our goal is to help and assist families in their call the home educate their children. We are available to answer any questions you may have regarding homeschooling. The PSP also has parent teacher resources available for you to check out. These resources consist of curriculum guides, CDs from CHEA and CFS conferences, and various books on homeschooling.

TESTING

Student testing is not required by the State of California. However, we suggest that you consider administering a standardized test to you child. While we recognize that this battery of tests is only a public school standard, it can however be a useful tool to aid you in assessing your child’s knowledge and progress in these selected areas. All sixth grade and eighth grade students are required to take a standardized test. This test will be selected and proctored by the school administration. Failure to meet this requirement will result in student’s enrollment being terminated. For students with significant learning and/or classroom difficulties, a request for exemption may be submitted, in writing, no less than 60 days prior to the beginning of testing. This must be followed up with a call to the Director. Such requests are subject to approval by the school administration, and may be subject to modification as considered necessary by the school administration. Requests must be accompanied by objective evidence of the child’s academic stability.

DAY SCHOOL INVOLVEMENT

Home school students have the opportunity to participate in Calvary Christian School’s (CCS) day school. Areas of involvement vary from year to year depending upon what is being offered. Typically, students are able to participate in dance, baton, sports, drama, choir, academic classes and weekly chapel services (not all grades can participate in all of the activities listed). Except for chapel, all of these opportunities require an additional fee not covered by your PSP tuition fees. Members will be informed of what opportunities are available by the administration.

CURRICULA

The PSP does not provide any curriculum. We believe each student is truly unique and that each has a distinctive learning style given to him or her by their Creator. Therefore, the student’s parents are best qualified to discern and select the individual curriculum that will be most effective for their child.

EXTRA-CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES

CCSPSP no longer provides fieldtrips, park days, PE, classes or workshops. We highly recommend that you join a CFS Support Group if you desire to participate in activities such as the ones listed above. There are many CFS Support Groups to choose from, their website is www.cfssd.org/portal/. CCSPSP will maintain a roster and email list for those wanting to keep in contact with other CCSPSP homeschoolers and homeschoolers who attend Calvary Chapel of Vista. The roster and email list will allow you to invite others to join you at the park, the beach, to pray, or other fun activities. The roster and email list is optional and will not be monitored by CCSPSP. The roster and email list are to be for the purpose of keeping in fellowship with other homeschoolers and informing each other of homeschool activities and seminars.
