TUITION and FEES
Tuition is a transfer of energy between our hardworking families and our caring and devoted faculty and staff. It is a vital component of Cocoplum, providing dignified salaries, and supporting an unparalleled learning environment. Tuition is an investment in the present as it preserves childhood in a natural and nurturing environment. It's also an investment for the future - a future in which your child is living joyfully as their truest self thanks to critical foundational years spent at Cocoplum.
We recognize the challenge that tuition may pose. For our elementary school students, we accept Florida's Step Up for Students (SUS) scholarships. More information and the application are available here.
