How to pay for this

We haven't recorded a funding path for this program yet — which means we haven't checked, not that none exists. Listed cost: Cost not listed.

Two things worth trying: ask whether they accept homeschool charter enrichment funds, and ask whether they offer a sliding scale or scholarship. Many small programs do both and never advertise it.

Request this program at your charter

Most homeschool charters only start vendor approval when an enrolled family asks for it — a program can't just apply on its own. If you're enrolled, your request is the thing that unlocks the funding.
