Course fees
All CTF courses in grades 7–9 carry mandatory fees that help cover the cost of consumable materials, project supplies, and program-specific resources. Fees are listed above as approximate amounts and may vary slightly. They are outlined in the course selection survey sent to families, and by indicating your child's interest in a course, you are acknowledging that associated fees apply. These fees ensure every student has access to the materials and hands-on experiences that make our CTF program meaningful.
