2021 Fall Semester
Classes for the 2021 fall semester will be either virtual or hybrid pending an update of the rental policy of the use of Howard County Public School facilities. At this point, CLSC is not able to finalize the 2021 fall semester tuition and fee.
In anticipation of the upcoming pre-registration for the 2021 Fall semester, CLSC is sharing its preliminary guideline for the tuition and fee. Tuition per student is between $180 (virtual instruction) and $220 (hybrid instruction). Registration Fee per family is $30 (virtual instruction) or $60 (hybrid instruction). Material Fee remains the same at $20 per student. Fees are non-refundable.
