Financial Obligation

Contractual Financial Obligation

After May 31, parents are responsible for tuition for the entire school year. If the school receives written notice of withdrawal by hand delivery or by certified or registered mail on or before May 31, parents will forfeit only the nonrefundable tuition deposit. If a student withdraws after May 31 for any reason, parents have an unconditional contractual obligation to pay the total annual charges for tuition.

Tuition Refund Plan

Due to the annual tuition obligation, parents will have coverage under a Tuition Refund Plan that covers a part of the remaining unused portion of the tuition charges. The premium of 1.2% of tuition has been included in the tuition. Subject to the terms of the policy, the plan pays 100% of the unused portion of tuition expense if a student withdraws for medical reasons, 75% for dismissal, and 60% for non-medical withdrawal. Benefits under the plan become effective August 1 for medical withdrawals. For dismissals and non-medical withdrawals, coverage becomes effective after the student attends fourteen consecutive calendar days. See the brochure from A.W.G. Dewar, Inc. for a complete explanation of the plan.

Payment Plans

Due at Enrollment

New Students – The nonrefundable tuition deposit of $500 per child and $100 new student matriculation fee are due with the Enrollment Form.

Returning Students – The nonrefundable tuition deposit of $500 per child is due with the Enrollment Form.  For returning students enrolling after the February 15 deadline, a $100 per child late fee is also due with the Enrollment Form.

Prepay Three Payments – The three payments are due June 15, July 15, and August 15.

Semester – Semester payments are due June 15 and December 15.  There is a $12.50 per payment, per family handling charge for the semester payment option.

Monthly – Monthly payments will be drafted on the 10th or the 20th of the month depending on the selection indicated on the Bank Draft Authorization Form.  For enrollment to be considered complete, a Bank Draft Authorization Form must accompany the Enrollment Form.  Payments begin in June and continue through May.  Since tuition deposits are due in February, there will be no draft in February.  Generally, the same amount will be drafted each month.  There is a $12.50 per month, per family handling charge for the monthly payment option.

Billing Statements

Billing statements will be sent when annual and semester payments are due.  For parents paying by monthly draft, a billing statement will only be sent in June to indicate the monthly draft amount.  Charges, not paid for by the annual or semester payment or the monthly draft, will be billed separately each month.  Extracurricular activities such as LEAP, Cub Sports, camps, and class trips are paid for separately.
