Summer Project Cost Breakdown

I hope to provide educational support to everyone who could use it. I recognize that individualized support can be pricey, so I hope the summer film project can serve as a more budget-friendly option for families.

Families can enroll their student(s) in just one or several teams for this summer project. The rates for the film project are based on the number of teams a student is a part of.
