Tuition:
Tuition may be paid in one of three methods:
1. a one-time payment by the first day of school with a 2% discount
2. over a ten-month period with the first payment due September 1st and the last due June 1st
3. over a twelve-month period with the first payment due July 1st and the last due June 1st
Each family is required to sign a Tuition Contract when the registration application is turned in.
Monthly tuition payments are due on the first of the month. At the end of a fifteen day grace period, a late fee will be assessed each month on the delinquent amount. If payment becomes 30 days delinquent, the account will be referred to the School Board. The School Board will establish a payment plan in order for the family to remain in school. While a family is on a payment plan, no late fees will be assessed to the account. Failure to meet the terms established by the School Board will result in removal of the student from classes until the account is cleared. After 90 days, families who do not make payment or establish a payment plan for their outstanding balance will be sent to collections.
