For public school students, it is free. (There’s a very small materials fee.) For private school students, the school has to pay half of the total cost so it’s possible they could require that be paid by the family. My guess is that it depends on the school.


It's free for public school kids, fees are paid by the school. We did pay a small activities fee (last year) which was waivable based on income.

yes-I wish they would update us as to when they will update us


The World Language academy parent guide said we’d find out April 15, and schools would know about one week prior. Even if schools don’t find out until we do, I’m still hoping for Monday as the latest. I would really like to finalize summer plans for our family.

The waiting without knowing a definitive date when things will be released is really hard.

DD waiting for French program update. Anyone have kids that participated recently? How did they like it? Don’t have a sense of what she might expect.

Math and Science. Administration also said they rarely hear before the students do. 🤷🏻‍♀️


This is what admin told my world language academy applicant too. They expect to hear at the same time as students, even though the guide for students and parents says they should hear a week earlier.
