Curriculum Costs
Sources of Strength Elementary uses a grade level pricing model to maximize equity, access, and implementation. Costs are based on grade level rather than per student or per classroom. This allows every teacher, classroom, and student in that grade level to have access to the curriculum. This pricing structure does not require every classroom in a grade to implement the curriculum but rather makes it easier and more affordable for those that would like to implement. Costs for Elementary Curriculum are as follows:
-
Cost is per grade, per school
-
Physical copies of the curriculum for the purchased grade level: up to 8 copies per grade level of K-2 Curriculum and up to 6 copies per grade level of 3-6 Curriculum
