Registration is NOW open!
Click on the purple button below.
The registration form requires you to fill in Parent Information first. Then you will select your classes. Classes are divided into “Family Classes” (where you may enroll multiple children for one price) and “Student Classes” (where you pay a fee for each child). When you select a family class, we still need your student information for each child. You will not be billed any additional fee when you fill in their information. Be sure to select the right number of students you enrolled for the discount for Kidswrite Basic in order to have the deduction taken from the full price before you click “submit.” You’ll receive an email receipt for your enrollment and a separate Paypal receipt for your payment (if you choose that option for payment).
Attention: Classes Fill Quickly
We’ve had an uptick in class enrollments in 2011. Classes are filling to the point of waiting lists again. Brave Writer is growing! If you want to ensure that you are enrolled in a class, you will want to secure your space by registering early and by paying when you register. Don’t let time get away from you!
The classes that fill the most quickly are:
- Kidswrite Basic (all sessions, but particularly which ever one is coming up)
- Kidswrite Intermediate
- SAT/ACT Essay preparation
- Foundations in Writing (has received the highest commendations of all classes by former students)
- Nature Journaling
Class registration stays open until classes are full (we note when classes fill on the registration form). To ensure that you get the class of your choice, register early.
To learn more about how online classes work, read our online classes description.
Be sure to read the Rules for Registration.
If you’re traveling and have no access to the Internet, you can ask a friend to register for you. Payment can be mailed as a check when you get home. Or you can “chance” it and sign up upon return. All payments are due two weeks before your class begins. We will give preference to those who register with payment if the class fills up and goes to a waiting list. To secure your space, you’ll want to register AND pay at the same time.
Information about registration:
Class tuition can be paid using a credit card or by check/money order. You’ll be redirected to Paypal after you complete the registration form. To complete your payment with a credit card, follow the steps outlined by Paypal. To pay by check, simply note the total and click out of the Paypal screen. Then you can mail your check (instructions below) to complete your registration. Your enrollment will be confirmed by an email with your registration information. Your payment is confirmed by Paypal in a separate email receipt.
Charter School Payments
We accept these. Ask your charter school to:
- Send a purchase order to Brave Writer (at the address below).
In your instructions to the charter school, title the class:
- Kidswrite Basic Curriculum or
- Expository Essay Curriculum (and so on)
- Do not put class in the title.
Charter schools are run by the state and the word “class” is a flag that means your child will be in a physical classroom with a teacher. That kind of class setting requires a different kind of payment system that Brave Writer does not support or use. Because these are online classes, taught on a message board, we are in a different category: distributing a curriculum over a specified period of time through text. Therefore curriculum is the right title.
Check payment: make checks payable to Brave Writer LLC and mail them to the following address:
Brave Writer LLC
7723 Tylers Place Blvd. Ste. 165
West Chester, OH 45069
Include a note with these details:
- Your Name
- Your children’s names and the classes they are taking
- The names of the classes
- Your email address
- Your phone number
Tuition is due two weeks before class begins.
You may send multiple smaller payments until the due date, if that helps you to manage the total. Please mention that strategy in the comments section of your registration or via email so we may make a note of it.
Read about how we run our classes and look at the fall quarter class schedule now, if you haven’t already done so..
Please read the Rules for Registration before you register which are below. An email receipt will be emailed to you to confirm your registration. A separate receipt for payment will be sent to you via Paypal or you will have your canceled check as your receipt for check payment.
You are completely enrolled in a Brave Writer Class once you have completed the registration form and have paid tuition in full.
Your spot in class is reserved until the tuition deadline is reached or there are enough paying students to fill a class. If the class you sign up becomes full, we’ll notify you via email, put you on the waiting list and refund your tuition (if you have already paid).
Rules for Registration:
Multiple Enrollments: Families may sign up for multiple classes for multiple students at one time. However, we prefer you not enroll one student for two classes if they overlap in dates (without emailing us first to discuss). We’ve discovered the hard way that students most often can’t fulfill the demands of Brave Writer courses if they have to keep up with two at once.
Travel during class: Many families ask if they can take vacation time during a 4-6 week class. Our policy is flexible. We prefer you not miss more than a few days at a time. However, if you must be gone for a week, you will need to evaluate whether or not you’ll have consistent Internet access AND the time to do the work while out of town. Be sure you take into consideration the motivation of the student. We will not enroll you if you will miss more than a week of class. Simply wait for next quarter.
Age Requirements: We do enforce the specified age range for classes without special permission from the staff. Contact Julie if you need special permission.
Cancellation Policy
Conditions for canceling registration or withdrawing from class:
Once you have enrolled and paid for class, there are no refunds after the first day of class.
If for some reason you must withdraw from class between the time you enroll and class begins, your refund will be as follows:
Between enrollment and two weeks before class begins: 100% minus service charge of $25.00.
During the week before class begins: 75%
After class begins, no refunds for any reason.
Contact Brave Writer with any questions.
