Fee Transparency
For transparency, Aurora Skills has elected to provide a breakdown of class/program fees to show the split between the program base cost and the PS6 School administrative costs. The administrative cost is not a new cost; it has always been there baked into the overall program cost. We are now happy share with our community the breakdown in the interest of transparency.
Program base cost
The base cost for the Forensics Scientist program is $865 per student per semester.
PS6 Afterschool administrative fee
PS6 Afterschool programs also require access to the PS6 building, facilities, security, and custodianship; nursing coverage until 4PM; and ongoing facilitation and coordination across functions easily seen (like late pick-up on days when you need it) and back-office, no-spotlight work (like paying out city permits).
PS6 Afterschool Administrative fee (includes nursing, permits, and coordination is – $160 per child per semester.
In view of the above, the total cost per child per semester is:
(a) Forensic Scientist – $865.00
(b) PS6 Administrative fee – $160.00
Total – $1025.00
