Request an application packet (includes the following)

(located at bottom of this page)

• Student application to be filled out by the student. (Parents, we know you’ll help provide any missing information, but many of the questions are aimed at getting to know the applicant’s personality and interest-level)
• Student recommendation forms to be filled out by two non-family references
• Parent commitment form to be read and signed by parent(s)
• Student commitment form to be read and signed by student
• Disciplinary guidelines to be read and signed by parent(s) and student
• Student’s desired course list (Be sure to look at the schedule when choosing classes.)

Wait for acceptance notification

Once we have received the completed application packet, our tutors will read/review each application. In some cases we may request an interview with both student and parent(s) before a final decision is made. In either case, we will notify you via email or phone of your acceptance-status.

Tuition

Also upon acceptance, you will need to send your tuition checks in order to guarantee your place in each of your desired classes. Because the tutors make plans for the following year based on enrollment, please understand that you are making a commitment to the tutors when you sign up for their classes. For this reason, checks are non-refundable unless a class is cancelled.

Please remember that the Schaeffer Study Center is not a school. Each of its teacher/tutors works as an independent contractor – hired by the parents to teach/tutor their children. Parents write checks to Schaeffer Study Center. The study center than combines and forwards the funds paid by parents to the tutors. Tuition may be paid in one check for the whole year or divided up into two, four, eight or ten payments. If you choose to break the payments up, you will need to submit them as post-dated checks (dated for the first of each month during the school year) before classes begin in August.
