Registration Fee: $125 due 1 week past designated registration date (treasurer will send invoice via email)

Background Check: Each family is required to pay for and submit one background check per family to Protect My Ministry. Failure to submit this within one week will result in student enrollments being cancelled or moved to a waiting list.

Tuition: ½ tuition plus material fees will be due May 1. The second ½ of tuition will be due July 1. Families who do not pay in full prior to classes beginning will not be permitted to send students to classes and will be charged a late fee of $50 after the 15^th of each month payment is not received.

Grade Level Information:

Our classes are divided into three general groups of grade levels: 5 – 7/8, 7-9 and 9-12. There are a few exceptions for classes such as Chemistry that require prior science classes to be successful. Families should take into consideration their student’s learning ability in deciding where to place students who fall on the lower or higher end of the groupings. For example, a 7^th grader who is a struggling learner may not do well in the 7-9^th classes; an advanced 9^th grader may be bored in the 7-9^th grade range classes. We recommend contacting teachers ahead of time to discuss the difficulty level of their class if questions remain after reading the course description.

Course Progressions:

We recommend the following progressions:

Writing

5/6^th grade: Writing A/B (Writing A and Writing B are offered alternating years and do not repeat material to allow for students to take both in these grades.)

7^th-9^th grade: Writing I or Intro to Writing

8^th-10^th grade: Writing II

9^th-12^th grade: Writing III

All students new to SAIL must submit a writing sample and survey. These forms can be found on our website. Students will be assessed based on their sample and placed in an appropriate class. We do not recommend skipping ahead to any level of writing, particularly in 7^th-8^th grade.
