“For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works,

which God prepared in advance for us to do.” Ephesians 2:10

The Academy endeavors to maintain reasonable tuition rates for families and cultivate a family-community environment.  In order to maintain reasonable rates, families are required to volunteer two (2) hours per week.  The assigned tasks support Adelphia’s day-to-day operations.  As a family-community, Academy families are also encouraged to volunteer outside of annual assignments when the need arises.

                                                                                                                                                        

The Academy understands that some families, due to a variety of circumstances, are unable to commit to volunteering two hours per week.  As such, their tuition must increase ($990) so that the Academy can pay for needed support.  Families that choose Volunteer Opt-Out are not required to support program tasks throughout the program year.  Although a family may choose to Opt-Out, families are encouraged to provide general volunteer support as their schedule permits.  The Opt-Out fee is paid with the family’s selected tuition payment plan.  

 

Families that are able to provide consistent volunteer support one hour per week may choose the Volunteer Partial Opt-In options ($585).  The Partial Opt-In fee is paid with the family’s selected tuition payment plan.  Families are always welcome to volunteer more as their schedule and opportunities permit.

​

The volunteer roles are generally assigned on a first come, first served basis.  If a family selected the Volunteer Opt-In option, but is unable to volunteer for any remaining available roles that fulfill the 2 hrs/wk commitment, the family will need to pay the Volunteer Opt-Out or Volunteer Partial Opt-In fee. 

 

Volunteering family members are required by California State Law to be fingerprinted.  Before volunteering on campus, volunteers must be fingerprinted (paid for by family members).

​

Listed below are examples of the various volunteer opportunities.  If a family has a skill set that would benefit the Academy, please inquire with the administration.  The Academy looks forward to watching how God utilizes families to enhance and support the community of families each year.
