Tuition and graduation
 The
2008-2009 school year tuition for the Kradwell High School *(Half-Day)
Program totals $9,964. Full day programming is available for elementary
school students at $18,990 per year. The tuition fee includes all
books and materials, including pens, pencils and paper, and art
supplies. Tuition is pre-billed at the start of each quarter. Alternate
tuition pay schedules can be arranged with the principal.
If tuition is not received by Kradwell School on the tuition due
date, enrollment can be terminated and Kradwell school records will be
withheld. Parents are legally responsible for payment of any unpaid
tuition accrued during enrollment.
In the case of a student entering after the beginning of a quarter,
the registration fee will be prorated. And, in the case of a student
leaving before the end of a quarter, a refund will be issued. Summer
school tuition is non-refundable.
Quarterly tuition reminders are mailed prior to the due dates.
Grading structure
It is essential that the education program follow the basic structure
of the local public/private school systems to model the educational
milieu of these systems. This modeling is most apparent in graduation
requirements, credits, course title, school calendars and the grading
system.
Because the educational program serves a broad spectrum of ability
levels, it was found necessary to modify the standardized grading
system. The current grading system integrates instructional levels to
reflect more accurately the exceptional, average, and low ability
student's ability to earn an "A" if he/she puts forth his/her best
effort.
Failure grades are removed from a student’s transcript for courses
retaken and passed at Kradwell.
An attendance/grade cap is employed at
Kradwell.
Upon completion of a student’s enrollment, the student’s transcripts,
academic-testing results, progress reports, and any other pertinent
educational information are forwarded to the receiving educational
institution.
Accreditation
Kradwell School is recognized as a
private school by the Wisconsin State Department of Public Instruction
and is listed in the Wisconsin School Directory under the school
district of Wauwatosa.
