how we changed

the traditional

co-op

The fruits of the Holy Spirit are the “perfections that the Holy Spirit forms in us as the first fruits of eternal glory.” (CCC 1832)

St. Paul writes about them in his letter to the Galatians in chapter 5:22-25.

...But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit. Let us not become conceited, provoking and envying each other.

(basically it's our Code of Conduct!)

What are the fruits of the holy spirit?

Who are we?

The operating fee is an annual charge to families to help cover the expenses the co-op incurs.

Such expenses include:

*insurance to protect the students, teachers, and building

*rent to St. Andrew the Apostle Church

*minimal compensation to the study hall monitor

*maintenance fees of the website

*etc.

What is the Operating Fee?

The Operating Fee for the academic school year of

2013-2014 is $60 for one student or $90 for a family.

Essentially, instead of charging tuition to help cover the overhead expenses of running the co-op, we ask an annual donation from each family to partially cover these necessary expenses. There is a single student and family rate.

It should be noted that tutors also give a specified amount to offset these costs and that this amount exceeds the family rate.

The Fruits of the Spirit Academy is excited

to announce its new incentive program

to lower the Operating Fee for families.

For each new family you refer who registers with FOSA, you will receive a $10 credit to your operating fee. No limit.

Register your students and

pay your 2013-2014 Operating

Fee by June 15, 2013. You will

save $10 off your Operating

Fee which keeps the cost to

last year's expense.

Ways to Decrease the Operating Fee

but do please remember that operating fees are non-refundable

we do not have a formalized

dress code because if we had one, we would

be obligated to enforce it. instead, our student

body is comprised of good and moral kids who have not yet pushed the limits with clothing. we ask that everyone dress respectfully--girls need to have camisoles to cover low cut shirts and think of the modesty when dressing. we ask that no one wears shocking t-shirts with intentionally provoking messages. if someone were to dress in a negative way, we do reserve the right to send the student home that day or the parent to bring a change of clothes. however, in three years we have never had an issue.

Why work with us?

Beginning in fall 2012, we will have an orientation picnic. The picnic will begin with Mass at 8 a.m. and students will then attend abbreviated classes. After classes,

we can celebrate with a small potluck and activities in the field. More details will follow.

As a quick note, we no longer offer science and math

classes. We find their intensity too much for our current academic model and instead focus on the humanities. We apologize for this inconvenience.
