Village Home is in session for three, 10-week terms between September and June. We are proud to be able to offer high-quality, engaging classes for such an affordable price. Some classes like lab science, art, and technology classes will be higher due to class material fees. In addition to classes, clubs, and competitive teams, we also offer field trips and workshops, parent enrichment programs, and travel opportunities. Village Home is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization and relies on fundraising and donations from our families and friends to keep classes affordable and accessible, we provide over $30,000 in Financial Aid annually.

Clubs are led by volunteer parents and are offered at $25 for 10 hours, Financial Aid may be applied
Classes such as lab science, art, and technology classes may be higher due to class material fees or book costs
Materials & Book Fees
Materials fees will typically be added to science, tech, and art classes ($5 – $20) to cover class specific supplies. If there is a specific product or textbook required by the instructor, your product or textbook will be added to your invoice and provided by the teacher on the first day of class. In some cases, we will include an Amazon product link in the description and instruct you to purchase the text or product directly and bring it the first day of class.
Reliance on Volunteerism: Or Community Duty (CD) Program
To keep tuition affordable, and to be a part of the community, Village Home families participate in Community Duty (CD). We understand that busy parents are juggling a log, so our Community Duty Program makes it easier to volunteer. Every family is required to do Community Duty, most tasks are between 3 -5 hours each 10-week term. There are tasks and special projects throughout the year requiring more time for those who would like to help more than 5 hours each term. An ADULT has to complete the Community Duty for a family (CD can be done by an adult friend or relative on behalf of another family). Families who are unable or choose not to do Community Duty may buy-out.

If your student misses a class, or is asked to leave a class because of disciplinary reasons, there is no refund. If Village Home cancels a class, you receive a refund of tuition and material fees.
