Financial Aid: Needs-based financial aid is available. Please email Shawn Crane for details.

Student Supervision:
To ensure that we have adequate supervision for our students on campus, we ask each family to provide approximately 35–40 hours of student supervision over the course of the academic year. The exact number of hours is dependent on how many hours of classes your child attends. While we cannot guarantee that your supervision will perfectly coincide with your child’s class times, you are welcome to bring your children with you while you supervise. If providing supervision would create a hardship, email Shawn Crane to discuss possible alternatives.

Supplies: 
The majority of our classes require that parents provide books and other materials. Details will be provided before classes begin. If you have questions about the details of any of our classes please contact the mentor listed.

Our Philosophy: 
Our classes incorporate the principles and philosophy discussed in A Thomas Jefferson Education and Leadership Education: The Phases of Learning by Oliver DeMille. Many are based on the programs created by the Leadership Education Mentoring Institute (LEMI), and all our mentors are LEMI trained. There are discussion groups on these works and this philosophy throughout the year. Contact Shawn Crane for more information.

Special Note About Overscheduling: 
Most of our classes include work to be done outside of class. Each year, some students take on more than they can reasonably manage, leading to stress that affects not only the student but also families and mentors. We prioritize quality of work over volume. Setting students up to succeed assists them in gaining and maintaining a love of learning. Over-scheduling undermines that goal.

We trust you know your child best. Please review the “Outside Work Required” section for each class and consider your child’s full schedule, including studies at home, other classes, community college courses, and music or athletic commitments. Some of our higher-level Scholar classes carry a heavier workload. Time estimates are only guidelines. If your child reads slowly, finds writing challenging, or enjoys deep research, please plan for additional time.

If you’re unsure whether a class is the right fit for your child, please contact Shawn.Crane@YLPEducation.org or (818) 424-8574.
