Step Up for Students:

St. Augustine Co-op is an authorized Step Up for Students (SUFS) direct pay provider.

Discounts:

At this time, discounts are only available for students of teachers and teaching assistants. While we recognize (and personally appreciate!) the importance of sibling discounts, particularly for larger families, the per-student cost structure facilitates our small group sizes. As our co-op expands, we plan to introduce sibling discounts.

We are excited about the possibility of your family joining our community!
