Payment Policies |
 |
|
1. Payment is due on the first day of each month. No reminder notice is sent out since this is consistent every month from August – May every year.
2. A late fee of $20 (per child) will be charged if all payments are not received by the fifth of the month. This includes Early and Late Stay charges for the previous month. Note: If the fifth falls on a Saturday or a Sunday it will be considered late if payment is made on the Monday following the 5th.
3. Any student whose bill is 45 days past due will not be allowed to return to school unless arrangements have been made in advance with a member of the school administration. This includes Late and Early Stay charges.
4. Report cards and school records will not be released until a student’s account is paid in full.
5. A fee of $10.00 will be charged to replace any lost report card.
6. Returned checks will be considered as non-payment. A $35 charge will be assessed for each returned check and, if it is past the 5th of the month, the $20 late fee still applies. |

Tuition |
|
|
Tuition is on a sliding scale based on a family's income, ranging from $1,800 a year to $2,300 a year and may be paid in 10 monthly payments. There is a ten percent discount for anyone paying the entire tuition at the beginning of the school year. There is a discount for families enrolling more than one child. Please see the current tuition and fees sheet. Please note that tuition is due on the first day of each month. If payment is not received by the fifth of the month, a $20 late fee (per child) will be accessed. Please do not assume that if the fifth of the month falls on a Saturday or a Sunday that you have until Monday to pay without receiving a late fee. Tuition is due on the first of the month, not the fifth. |
