Is there financial aid available?
There are a limited number of partial scholarships available (up to 50%). Scholarships are based upon proof of financial need. Total taxable income must not exceed $35,000, even if you are enrolling more than one child. Applications must be received by Friday, June 1st, 2012. The application holds your child's spot in his or her class. (Do not send payment until scholarship awards have been decided.) Click here to download the application (WORD or PDF). The director will take all completed applications into consideration and award 25% or 50% partial scholarships soon after the June 1st deadline. You will be notified of the decision and will be given until June 29th to make the balance due payment. After this date, your child will be unenrolled. Back to questions.
Where may I park or drop-off and pick-up my child?
Drop-off and pick-up is to take place in the Balboa driveway at the front of Valley Academy of Arts and Sciences. We recommend that you stay with your car when you drop-off or pick-up your child. We will have camp staff to help campers to their classrooms. For the safety of your child, please follow the staff's instructions. Back to questions.
