For our homeschool & charter families
Ways to Pay
Many AWI families homeschool and pay through charter school funds. Here's exactly how it works — clearly, in one place.
Charter school funding
Classes offered to charter school students are non-sectarian. Using charter funds is simple:
- 1
Enroll in the class
Sign up for the class you want through our registration portal, just like any family. You won’t be charged out-of-pocket if we receive your PO in time.
- 2
Submit your PO to your charter
Send your purchase order to your charter school as soon as possible, listing AWI as the vendor.
- 3
We credit your account
Once your charter sends us the PO, we credit your account so you’re not charged out-of-pocket.
Good to know
- • Charter funds are not accepted for summer programs or overnights — those are out-of-pocket.
- • Purchase orders are due Aug 15 (Fall) and Dec 15 (Spring). Unpaid balances are charged to the card on file.
- • You’ll only be charged out-of-pocket if we don’t receive your PO by the enrollment deadline.
Paying out of pocket
Payments are made securely online. A $25/family annual registration fee is included in your registration and covers the whole family for the year. Need a payment plan? Email office@awicommunity.org to arrange installments.
Scholarships
We believe cost shouldn’t keep a child from nature. Families may qualify for 25%–75% scholarships depending on need and available funds. Since launching in 2020, we’ve funded over $5,000 in scholarships.
