SUMMEREXPLORATIONS

Who can register and when?

Wichita Collegiate School Summer Explorations programs are open to all local families. Registration for currently enrolled Wichita Collegiate students will be open from February 22nd - February 29th. During this time registration will be password protected. Beginning March 1st the password protection will be removed and we welcome all local families to register. Anyone outside of currently enrolled Wichita Collegiate students that registers during the February 22nd - February 29th period will be unenrolled and subject to a 6% cancellation fee.

Are payment plans available?

A 40% deposit is due upon registration. Balances are due the Wednesday before the class begins. For all summer classes, balances owed can be spread out over 3 payments and are due according to the payment option you chose when you register.

What is the Summer Explorations cancellation and refund policy?

Payments will be refunded if any activity/event is cancelled by Wichita Collegiate School at any time. If the event is NOT cancelled, a refund minus an administration fee for each course will be given if the request to withdraw is made by email prior to two weeks before the first day of class. The administration fee will be either $25.00 or 5.5% of the class fee, whichever is greater.
