COST PER PARTICIPANT
Because we have two important missions which we reach by employing the innovative “Students Teaching Students” model, Breakthrough Saint Paul serves students at all levels. When calculating the cost of the program per participant, we therefore include the number of both students and aspiring teachers.
For fiscal year 2007/2008, the cost per participant totals are ...
- Cost Per Participant Per Year = $1,570*
- Cost Per Participant Per Academic Day = $40**
| Total Amount Needed to Fundraise | $188,000 | |
| Divided by Total Participants (103 students + 17 aspiring teachers) | 120 | |
| Equals Cost per Participant per Year | $1,570 | * |
| Divided by Number of Academic Days per Year | 40 | |
| Equals Cost per Participant per Academic Day | $40 | ** |
"Breakthrough is cost efficient. It meets two missions with one program."
- Mike Downs, Head of School, Mounds Park Academy
