Fees
We charge a monthly year-round service and record keeping charge of $59.00 for the first child and $34.00 for each additional child. This fee starts when you register. If you register mid-month, the second month will be prorated so your future billings will be on the first of the month. Keeping current on this monthly service charge entitles you to remain actively enrolled in our program. Additional services include a monthly evaluation of each child's progress by a Master Teacher, Homegrad News and record keeping. When your child completes the requirements for a particular level, the requirements for the next level will be sent free of charge upon request. You may contact the Master Teacher by letter, fax or e-mail for help in running the program and for updates on your MasterGuidance Customized Academic Program. Although new testing and new programming usually are unnecessary, we do offer retesting (the fee for this service is $195), or retesting with updated MasterGuidance Customized Academic Program (the fee for this service is $295).
We ask any family that chooses to withdraw or become inactive to pay the registration and programming fee newly to resume the program. This provides us with an exchange so we can properly retest the child and provide a current MasterGuidance Customized Academic Program. This includes families who prefer to become inactive over the summer months or take an extended vacation during the school year.
Families that remain current on the monthly service and record keeping charge year round including the summer months are exempt from repaying the registration. Summer is a great opportunity to travel, go on field trips and engage in many other activities that are fun and educational. The Master Teacher will be happy to work with you on this.
A processing fee of $5 will be added to any unpaid balance by the 10th of the month. An additional service charge of $20 will be charged each time a credit card is declined or a check is returned. An interest and handling fee of 2% per month will be charged on any amount over 30 days past due.
To discontinue the monthly evaluation and record keeping fees, our bookkeeping department requires a dated written notice requesting withdrawal. Billing will cease on the first day of the month following the dated request.
Books and materials are available separately through our bookstore.
