Closed Priority Registration
Closed priority registration period will be available for the leadership team, PATH teachers, and
current returning PATH families. Other families may submit their registration beforehand, but it will
not be processed until the end of closed registration. Leadership reserves the right to refuse a
student’s application due to misbehavior or unbiblical behavior from a previous year on the part of the student and/or parent, poor academic performance, habitual absenteeism, or failure to pay fees from the previous year. Notification of acceptance, refusal, or waiting list will be made within seven days of registration period.
Open Registration
Open registration period, which follows the closed registration, will be for new families to register for
the remaining openings. These families may submit their registration beforehand, but it will not be
processed until the end of closed registration. Returning PATH students may still apply but will no
longer have priority over the new students. Notification of acceptance, refusal, or waiting list will be made within seven days of registration period. Applications will continue to be accepted throughout
the summer, if there are any remaining openings.
Registration Priority Order
During closed priority registration, the priority is in this order:
● Students of the PATH leadership team
● Students of PATH teachers
● Families enrolled the prior year
● The date and time stamp
During open registration the priority is in this order:
● The date and time stamp
Registration Processing and Acceptance
The student must be at least 12 years of age by Sept. 30 of this year to be eligible to apply.
● Consideration will be given to students that are 12 years of age by October 30th and have
completed the 6th grade. Academic and behavioral level must be at the level of the students in
the classroom, so as not to distract from the older students’ group learning environment. Portfolio
or placement tests must be submitted for evaluation and approval. Please keep in mind that you
will be required to pay for the entire course(es) if your child does not have the maturity or
academic skills required to participate in the course(es).
● Registration can be in person to leadership or mailed to PATH PO Box 531 Milford, OH 45150.
Checks are payable to PATH Milford. Fees and tuition deposits are nonrefundable, unless placed
on the waiting list.
● Due to the Christian worldview perspective presented in the teaching, texts, and assignments in
this program, carefully read and consider the statement of faith before signing.
● If the student is on any waiting list(s) for any course(s), then the tuition for the course(s) will be
refunded; otherwise, all tuition is non-refundable.
● Register only for courses that you intend for your student to entirely complete. PATH contracts with teachers based on this intent. You will be
responsible for full annual tuition if your student withdraws from an active class.
● CCP (College Credit Plus) students may tentatively register for classes by paying the non-refundable registration fee ($75.00/student). Students can save a spot in the classes they are interested in and let PATH know their final decision after they find out their CCP acceptance and schedule.
● Due to the group classroom setting and academic pace of PATH, register students for ability
appropriate courses.
● Acceptance for any class is dependent on a student passing the previous course in that subject.
● Any incoming 8th-12th grade student that did not take a subject at PATH the prior school year will
be required to take a placement test if the teacher requires one. If a student does not pass the
test to be placed in a desired course, the student may register for a lower level course, or tuition
for that course will be reimbursed.
● During the summer, students enrolled in English and Math may be assigned assignments to be
turned in on the first day of class.
● Leadership approval, placement test and/or portfolio must be satisfied for a student to have
registration accepted for a course that is for older students.
● Academic and behavioral level must be at the level of the students in the classroom so as
not to distract from the other students’ group learning environment. Keep in mind that you will be
required to pay for the entire course(es) if your child needs to withdraw because he/she does not
have the maturity or academic skills required to participate in the course(es).
Financial Policies
It is our intention to keep the program costs at a minimum and to be fiscally responsible. Therefore,
PATH requires each family to participate in a volunteer capacity. PATH does not offer any payment
plans or discounted tuition for anyone, including members of the PATH leadership team. Teachers’
children will have free tuition only for courses they are teaching, in which their children are enrolled.
The exclusion applies to tuition only. The teacher will pay any other costs associated with the course. After Orientation, all tuition that has been paid is non-refundable.
● Due with spring registration – application fees, study hall fee.
● Due by June 15th – 1st payment
● Due by Orientation – 2nd payment
● Due by Quarter 2 – 3rd payment
● Due by January 15th – 4th payment
● The course costs are tuition, class fees and honorarium.
● Textbooks and other books are additional expenses and are the parent’s responsibility.
● In appreciation to the host church, each family has the opportunity to pay a facility honorarium,
which is 10% of the family’s total tuition cost. This is included in your tuition fee and then we write
a check to Faith Church for the honorarium total.
● All tuition prices are based on a minimum of 8 students per course, excluding the teacher’s child
enrolled in their course for free tuition. If enrollment drops to below 8 paying students, PATH
reserves the right to:
1) offer the parents the option of paying additional tuition per student to keep the course,
2) ask the teacher to accept less pay,
3) a combination of the above two options,
4) cancel the course.
● Because the teacher contracts are signed in August, based on enrollment, if,
for some reason your child needs to withdraw after Orientation, you will be required to pay for the full annual cost of the course(es).
