Inspiring Excellence and Character in a Nurturing Environment!
Albemarle School has a Parent Participation Program (PPP) that is implemented throughout the school year. This program is intended to address the shortfall between Albemarle School tuition and its actual operating costs. This is a “fair share” program that with different names and in various forms, is practiced in many private schools around the country, including some in our region.
This program requires parents/families of every student in grades K–12 attending Albemarle School to provide 40 hours of service to the school. It makes a positive impact on a significant portion of the shortfall in a fair and equitable manner for all Albemarle School families.
The cost for goods and services continue to rise significantly. The PPP helps offset these expenses.
You have the duration of the academic school year to complete the 40 hours per family (20 hours are to be in-person hours). For any service hours not worked, a $15.00 per service hour fee will be assessed. Report cards will not be issued for students whose families have not served and/or paid all 40 hours. Families are to complete at least 10 PPP hours per grading period. To track hours, use the PPP log (available to download below) and turn it in with receipts to the front office. Please contact the school office for further information about service hours and tracking sheets.
