What stands out
- All programming is explicitly a-la-carte, but each of the three core programs (Surf & Science Academy, LSC Learning Center, Little Ocean Explorers) charges its own separate $165 registration fee on top of a shared $295 annual supplies fee, so combining programs multiplies the registration cost.

- Enrollment is described as a year-long commitment, with staffing and scheduling planned around each family's commitment; dropping or changing a program after June 1 triggers a 2-month financial penalty. (source)
- No charter-school vendor or funding information was found on the homepage, programs, tuition, or contact pages checked as of 2026-10-09. (source)
