Farm School policies

Tuition and payment

• School-year tuition covers every child in the family through 8th grade, plus one parent or other important adult.
• Full-year families sign a one-year agreement and pay a $50 non-refundable deposit to register. The balance is due by August 1, or in two halves (August 1 and January 7) with a $50 financing fee.
• Seasonal sessions, summer mornings and short courses are paid in full at registration.
• Custom payment arrangements may be possible; ask Mary. The $50 financing fee applies.

Refunds and cancellations

• Full year: leaving the program or missing days doesn’t reduce tuition. If a family from the waitlist takes your place, a partial refund may be possible.
• Seasonal sessions: no credit for missed days. Cancel more than 14 days before the session starts for a full refund; within 14 days, tuition isn’t refundable.
• Summer mornings: refunded if you cancel, minus the card processing fee.

This is a small program, and late cancellations are hard to fill, so please register only if you’re confident you can attend.

Weather

Classes are held outdoors whenever possible, so dress for the weather. In sudden bad weather the group moves into the barn or the house. Classes are cancelled for extreme weather, such as sub-zero wind chills or dangerous roads, and the day is either made up at the end of the year or refunded.
