Application and Registration Fees
- Non-refundable registration fee (preschool): USD 225 per child.
- Non-refundable registration fee (academy K–8): USD 225 per child.
- Before-and-After Care program registration fee: non-refundable USD 25 per child (required before participation).
Tuition fees by program and year group
- Specific published tuition amounts per grade or per term are not listed publicly; tuition rates are determined by program (preschool, kindergarten–grade 5, middle school) and are provided through the school's tuition management/FACTS system. Families receive a tuition agreement that specifies the exact tuition for their child's program.
Billing schedule and payment terms
- Billing period: Tuition payment plans are structured on an annual cycle with installment options that begin in June and conclude in May. All tuition for the current school year must be paid in full by May 31.
- Tuition deposits: A non-refundable tuition deposit is required to secure placement for the following school year; the deposit amount and due date are communicated in the enrollment/re-enrollment materials. All tuition deposits are non-refundable.
- Delinquency: An account is considered delinquent if a scheduled payment is more than 30 days late. Late fees are assessed for payments made after the due date; returned checks incur a charge; delinquent accounts may result in exclusion from class, extracurricular activities, or withholding of student records.
Boarding / Residential provision
- Boarding is not applicable. The school operates as a day school and provides before- and after-school CARE services for enrolled students rather than residential boarding.
Other costs and fees
- Technology fee: An annual technology fee is charged to support hardware, software, and training; the handbook identifies a technology fee but does not list a fixed public amount.
- Field trips and grade-specific fees: Separate fees are charged for field trips and an Outdoor Education fee is charged for students in grades 5, 6, and 7.
- Extracurricular and optional program costs: Costs for hot lunches, uniforms, after-school enrichment programs, athletics, and other optional services are not included in base tuition and vary by program and year. Uniform items (certain plaid/solid skirts, jumpers, gym uniforms, monogrammed shirts and fleece jackets) must be ordered from the designated uniform vendor or may be purchased elsewhere if compliant with the dress code.
- Graduation fee: A graduation fee is charged for each student graduating from eighth grade.
- CARE (Before-and-After School) monthly fees and structure:
- Full-time (4–5 days/week): Before Care — USD 210 per month; After Care — USD 335 per month.
- Part-time (1–3 days/week): Before Care — USD 125 per month; After Care — USD 210 per month.
- CARE monthly billing is averaged over the school year and invoiced through the FACTS account.
Refund information and withdrawal terms
- Registration fees and tuition deposits are stated as non-refundable.
- Probationary acceptance: New and transfer students are accepted on a 90-calendar-day probationary period; if during that probation the school determines it cannot meet the student's needs, any prepaid tuition will be prorated and refunded.
Payment methods and administration
- Tuition collection and payment plans are administered through FACTS Tuition Management. FACTS supports multiple payment options, including automatic deduction from checking or savings accounts and payment by credit card, and provides online account access.
Notes for parents (concise)
- Registration and tuition deposit requirements secure placement and are non-refundable. FACTS is used for enrollment, tuition agreements, billing, and payment processing. Technology, field trips, Outdoor Education, CARE, uniforms, lunches, and optional activities generate additional charges that vary by grade and participation. The 90-day enrollment probation includes a provision for prorated refund of prepaid tuition only in the limited probationary circumstance described above.
