Mosaic has a tiered payment system in an effort to better serve the entire PS 20 community. In this system families must assess their own tuition tiers.
After 7 years without doing so, Mosaic is raising our fees by $1 per day, less than 1% of the legacy fee. Please read the full details and rationale here, and see the breakdown below.
Tier 1 enrollment (multi-day, full semester): $31/day
Tier 2 enrollment (multi-day, full semester): $21/day
Single-day drop-in fee: $36/day
Drop-in package: $165/5 drop-ins ($33 each)
Registration fee for Tier 1 and Tier 2: $5/semester
Registration fee for Scholarship families: $2/semester
Half-day on-site camps $45
Full day, no ticket, no bus camps $60
Full day ticketed and/or bus camp $80-$95
Please NOTE: tiered pricing and the scholarship application here are for afterschool only. If you need a scholarship for a Mosaic camp day, please email mosaic@ps20.org.
Families must assess themselves honestly. The program cannot run without adequate financial support from the PS20 community. The money raised by Mosaic pays for Mosaic staff salaries and supplies. It also enables PS 20 to employ school aids and to provide additional programming for the whole school.
