Admissions & Tuition

Admissions Process

Space is Limited!

We thoughtfully review all applications with care. Our priority is to facilitate a positive and collaborative community.

  1. Fill out an application form during open enrollment.

  2. Schedule a student visit and tour. You and your student(s) will visit the co-op to assess if St. Augustine Co-op is a good fit for your family.

  3. Our advisory board will review your application for fit and availability.

  4. Accept your invitation to join the co-op, sign the enrollment form, and pay the tuition deposit.

Payment terms & options:

Tuition for each trimester is due two weeks prior to the start of that trimester. Installment plans are available upon request. Accepted payment methods include SUFS scholarship direct payments, check, or Venmo (a 3% service fee applies to Venmo payments). Please note that fees and tuition are non-refundable.

Step Up for Students:

St. Augustine Co-op is an authorized Step Up for Students (SUFS) direct pay provider. Here’s a quick guide on how to use your scholarship to pay for tuition and fees.

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!
