We are launching an exciting campaign to increase enrollment for EA between K5-7th grade. This is a long-term strategy to help the development of the local children and grow the school. Sometimes when children transfer to EA after graduating other elementary schools, they are lagging in some of the core academics. We want to be part of their entire educational experience and grow them to their full potential starting at K5.

There will be two major incentives: 1. Family Referral Incentive and 2. Teacher Referral Incentive. Below you will find the description of each incentive and FAQ following the description.

Family Referral Incentive
For every new student recruited by an existing EA Family in the grades K5-7th, a $1000 credit will be put toward the tuition, of the existing EA Family with a cap no more than the tuition cost. Credit will be applied monthly in $100.00 increments. Incentive will only be good for one school year; as long as newly enrolled student stays enrolled, current on financial obligation, receives no financial assistance, at the end of the year pre-register for following year, commits no class II or III infractions and all other guidelines of incentive program set forth by Board of Directors are followed by both families. The below Family Referral Form must be submitted with the application for each student applying.

 Teacher Referral Incentive
Every current teacher that refers a newly enrolled K5- 7th student will carry a $500 incentive to be issued at the end of the 2016-2017 school year.

Q. As a family member do I get $1,000 applied to my tuition for every student that meets the guidelines?

If you then find a third student you would only receive $95.00 for that new recruit as you have reached full tuition payment via recruiting.
