Tuition and Fees
Tuition at Leaves is based on age and the number of hours a student is enrolled per week. Families pay only for the 34 weeks LOL is in session—not for breaks.
How Tuition Works
Tuition consists of two rates:
Non-Instructional Time
$9/hour
Lunch, Study Hall, Before Care, Free Choice, Tutor Room
Instructional Classes
Varies by age
The more classes taken, the lower the hourly cost
This means each child in your family could pay a different rate depending on their age and schedule.
Compare the published annual tuition examples for listed schedules. These are not personalized quotes or payment-plan amounts. Confirm custom schedules and applicable costs with the school.
Lunch add-ons are shown separately and are not added automatically. Registration, materials, family-job fees and additional care may apply. A dash in the chart means no separate lunch add-on is listed; it does not establish that lunch is free or included.

Family Jobs
To keep tuition rates at a minimum, we require every family either to be responsible for a specific job or to pay a family fee. The fee enables us to hire others to perform the needed work and is billed monthly.
Each job is assigned a "point value" based on effort required (points are not equal to hours). Families choose their jobs online over the summer at SignUpGenius. For families with more than one child, add enrolled classroom hours for all students to determine your total.
Fee/Point Schedule by Enrolled Class Hours
- 1 - 3.5 hours 2 points or $30/year
- 3.75 - 6.5 hours 5 points or $75/year
- 6.75 - 9.5 hours 10 points or $150/year
- 9.75 - 12.75 hours 15 points or $225/year
- 13+ hours 20 points or $300/year
Scholarships Available
