Fees
The unique and innovative programming at Renaissance Secondary requires additional funding in the form of student fees. Renaissance utilizes a once per year flat fee of $1,200 to cover educational program and adventure education costs.
Financial aid and payment plans are available! Renaissance families also earn money towards fees by shopping at King Soopers. Please don't let fees deter you from submitting an enrollment application for your child!
These family contributions help offset the costs of programming, including:
-
Adventure Education program (transportation, staff, equipment, etc.)
-
Instructional Supplies (tools and materials, etc.)
-
Field work (transportation, activity costs, etc.)
-
Technology
-
Books

Non-Discrimination Policy
Renaissance does not discriminate on the basis of disability, race, creed, color, gender, national origin, religion, ancestry, academic ability, or need for special education services. Diagnostic and placement tests may be administered after a student is officially enrolled, but they have no bearing on the Renaissance lottery nor the extension of enrollment invitations.
