Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know to enroll with confidence.
Enrolling
How do I enroll? ＋
For recurring classes, you’ll create a family account on our registration page (Jackrabbit), then choose your class. We keep a card on file, but you’re not charged when you create the account. For camps and one-off events, you don’t need an account at all — just register as a guest.
Do single-day events and camps require an account? ＋
No. Camps, community hikes, and single-day events use quick guest checkout — pick your date, pay, and you’re in. Only ongoing, recurring classes use the account-based registration system.
When are classes posted? ＋
Fall classes post the first week of April, spring classes the first week of November, and summer classes the first week of March.
What ages do you serve? ＋
Early childhood through adulthood — Preschool–KG, Early Elementary, Middle School, High School, and Adult/Family programs.
Paying
How do I pay? ＋
Payments are made securely online or through charter school funds. To pay out-of-pocket, enroll and then choose “Pay Now.” Charter families enroll and check out the same way — we credit your account once your charter sends us the PO.
Can I use charter school funds? ＋
Yes — many of our families do. Classes offered to charter students are non-sectarian. Sign up for the class, then submit your PO to your charter as soon as possible. Note that charter funds are not accepted for summer or overnight programs. See Ways to Pay for full details and deadlines.
Is there a registration fee? ＋
A $25/family annual registration fee is included in your registration and covers your whole family for the school year.
What is your refund / drop policy? ＋
Refunds are tiered by how far ahead you drop, and differ for semesters, summer camps, and overnights. See the full schedule on our Ways to Pay page.
Programs & logistics
Are programs drop-off? ＋
Most of our programs are drop-off, with the exception of Nature Tots and classes geared toward families, which are parent-participation.
What are your teacher-to-student ratios? ＋
Roughly 1 teacher per 14 students for upper elementary and older (with volunteers as needed), 1 teacher/aide per 6 students for Pre-K, and 1 leader per 7 students on overnight trips.
Where are you located? ＋
We currently operate across Southern California (Orange County and the Inland Empire) with some programming in Northern California.
How quickly will you respond? ＋
We aim to respond within 24–48 business hours. You can reach us at (909) 206-2226 or info@awicommunity.org.
