• CFL Schedule of Fees

  Fees for the CFL are based on the number of sessions to which students are assigned and are in addition to the tuition stated in our enrollment contract. Students will have an average of 1 - 3 sessions each week. Any changes to a student’s CFL level, including discontinuing CFL support, is handled on a case-by-case basis and is always made in consultation with the CFL Director.

  The CFL fee will be included in each CFL student’s enrollment contract. Billing and payment will depend on which PLAN the family has chosen for the year – single payment, two installments (75/25), or a 10-month installment plan.
  
  While Worcester Academy makes every effort to reschedule a missed session, there will be no refunds for any session missed, whatever the reason (including those missed for snow days, delayed starts, special schedules, and/or illness of student or learning specialist).

• CFL Enrollment Requirements

  Enrollment in the CFL is dependent upon receipt of a current (within three years) neuropsychological or psycho-educational evaluation that documents the need for academic support. IEPs, CAPs and 504 plans are not considered adequate without the supporting documentation that includes the results of the official evaluations. The director of the CFL determines final approval for services.
  
  Worcester Academy reserves the right to use student evaluations only as informational tools and does not guarantee the implementation of all recommendations and accommodations as specified in a student’s evaluation and/or IEP/CAP/504 plan. The CFL will implement only those recommendations that are deemed reasonable within our academic program.

• CFL Schedules

  Our CFL students are scheduled for sessions during their free periods within the academic day. The Director of CFL determines the number of sessions required based on the results of educational testing and the student’s progress in school. Once a student is assigned to a learning specialist, they are responsible for their attendance, as working in the CFL is considered an academic commitment. We expect CFL students to work toward needing less support as they progress.

• Special Schedules, Snow Days, and Other Disruptions

  Due to special schedules, snow days, and other disruptions to the regular academic schedule in a given year, a student will have an average of 1, 2, or 3 sessions each week. There will be some weeks of school that require an altered schedule, which may not allow for all sessions to meet.
  
  If a student misses a session for a valid reason and has given the CFL 24 hours notice, then every effort will be made to make up the time. If the session cannot be rescheduled within the current week due to an altered school schedule, or due to an extended absence from school, there will be no refund for missed or cancelled sessions. If a student misses a session without a valid excuse, the absence will be treated the same as an academic absence.
