Joining Alcove is very straightforward. There are no elaborate forms to fill out or essays to write. If we currently have space in the program, we can meet up with your family to have an open-ended conversation about the prospective member's educational history, interests, goals, and so on. As a staff, we'll then try to determine whether we think Alcove would be a good fit, and get back to you quickly.

Alcove is a non-profit, so we mainly rely on member contributions (and some outside fundraising) to sustain our operations. There isn't really any set tuition or fee schedule, since every family's situation is different. We simply ask that members contribute what they can afford to, given the value of what Alcove provides, and the needs of the community as a whole.
