EXPLANATION OF TERMS LISTED IN THE COURSE DESCRIPTION:
Required text: This is the text that will be used in the class. All students are expected to have access to the required text. The cost
of this text is the responsibility of the student’s family. Texts may be borrowed, purchased individually or ordered through SELAH.
Materials to be provided by student: Any items listed in this category are necessary for the class (in addition to the required text)
and are the responsibility of the student and/or their family. Although not always listed, most courses will require the use of pencil /
pen and paper. Please be sure that your children come properly equipped each week with all necessary items. Students who come
without these items will be at a definite disadvantage.
Estimated homework: Approximate amount of time needed to complete assigned homework is listed so parents and students will be
aware, in advance, of the time commitment needed for the class. It is vital that students complete any assigned homework. Not doing
so prevents the student from getting the maximum benefit from the class and devalues the time invested by the instructor for
preparation.
Prerequisite: Any special requirement necessary for taking a course is listed here. This may include any class which needs to be
completed prior to taking the course, or special age or grade guidelines. Any questions regarding prerequisites may be directed to
the instructor.
Additional information: Indicates any other information which the instructor feels is important for parents to know concerning the
class.
Tuition: Indicates the charge for participating in the class. Unless otherwise indicated in the description, classes are 1 hour long and
are held for 30 weeks. Tuition fees may be paid by installment should the family so desire. Tuition fees are mainly used to cover the
compensation given to the Instructor. These fees do not cover such items as custodial / janitorial salaries, or any of the many other
jobs that require parent assistance.
Materials fee: This fee covers the cost of the supplies and equipment provided by the instructor or SELAH for the class. It may also
cover the cost of photocopying papers to be given to the student. Materials fees will often be higher for classes that involve making
numerous projects or crafts. Classes without a required text will also have higher materials fees because more hand-outs will be provided
by the instructor. In addition to covering the cost of items for individual students, these fees are also used to purchase curriculum
for the teacher and items used by the group as a whole. All materials fees must be paid before the start of classes and are nonrefundable.
Student Instructor: Older students who have previously participated at the Learning Center are encouraged to share what they have
learned with younger students in an effort to “give back” the gift of knowledge they have received. These “Student Instructors” are
high school students who plan, organize and lead the class under the supervision of an adult.
Adult Facilitator: When a student leads a class, they are partnered with an adult who supervises the organization and instruction
provided by the Student Instructor.
PLEASE NOTE:
10% of the full cost of tuition will be deducted for each child registered for four or more 30-week classes (or combination of classes
equal to 30 weeks.)
