What is the cost of implementing Reasoning Mind at a school?
For the Basic II and Basic III courses, tuition costs $70 per student per year. In addition, schools provide funds for teacher professional development and certification for each RM teacher. This costs around $10,000 per teacher over the course of two years. Because Basic I is used as only part of the core curriculum, tuition is $35 per student. Professional development costs are also lower, coming to $2,500 per teacher over the course of two years. Besides the cost of tuition and teacher professional development, schools must keep in mind that unless they already have enough computers for a 1-1 student-to-computer ratio, there will also be costs associated with setting up computer labs. This may include the purchase of computers and installation of additional Internet connections and electrical wiring. Often, schools are able to find charities that finance a portion of the tuition costs or help with setting up computer labs.
