Your Commitment

Terms and Conditions*

I (or my designee) agree to operate a Scholé Community (SC) according to the terms, philosophy, core curriculum sequence, and pedagogy specified in the Scholé Communities Start-up Guide, including but not limited to the following elements:

I commit to operating a community comprised of two or more families.
I commit to implementing a classical curriculum as described in the Scholé Communities Start-up Guide.
I commit to implementing classical pedagogical principles as described in the Scholé Communities Start-up Guide, such as Festina Lente, Multum non Multa, Virtue Education, and Curiosity and Wonder.
I commit to pursuing a pedagogy of restful learning or "scholé" throughout the community to the best of my ability.
I understand that our group will include the word “Scholé” in the group name or subtitle.
I understand that as a SC, we will be entitled to all benefits, services, and resources provided to SCs as specified in the Scholé Communities Start-up Guide. I agree not to share or distribute these benefits, services, and resources outside of my official SC roster, and to ensure that the members of my SC agree to the same.
I agree to notify the Scholé Communities Network leadership if the community no longer can or wishes to keep the terms of the this agreement, at which time the group will no longer receive the benefits, services, resources or support of the Scholé Communities Network.
I agree to have our Community listed on the Scholé Communities website.
I agree to maintain a Facebook Page, website, or other online collaboration space for our Scholé Community, where potential families can learn about our community and contact us.
I agree to respond to potential families when they contact us through our contact portal, website or Facebook page.

Each director is the operator of his/her own Scholé Community and may operate the group as his/her own business. Scholé Communities may also chose to operate as friends, sharing expenses and without forming a registered business, but will still be registered with the Scholé Communities Network as an official SC and with a registered director (even if a volunteer). SC makes no requirements on what curricula (published materials) are used. Directors may generate revenue for compensating themselves and teachers (and other service providers) by charging tuition of SC participating families. Directors are free to charge whatever tuition they deem wise. Compensation for teachers at a given SC is set by the director in negotiation with a given teacher. Apart from the terms of the this agreement and guidelines of the Scholé Communities Start-up Guide, there are no restrictions placed on Scholé Communities directors or teachers.

I have read and agree to the terms and conditions above*
