How many children do you have in each grade/class?
We are committed to keeping class sizes small. Our maximum class size varies slightly from grade to grade. Our target class size is less than 15 students.

How much does the co-op cost for a family?
Dues range slightly from year to year depending primarily on number of families. Westminster Presbyterian Church members have a discounted rate, as they do not have to pay the per family building use fee. Expect co-op dues to be approximately $150 per year per family. This fee does not include building use or textbooks/workbooks for classes.
