Summer absence policies (one month off in June or July) are available with 30 days' notice and corresponding billing adjustments.
- For Primary–8th grade enrollment and withdrawals, the published tuition schedule and enrollment contract set billing obligations and any applicable refund or charge rules; credits from state scholarships may be applied either at enrollment or as payments are received.

Fee payment options and account handling

Families enroll in a payment plan through the published schedule and the school's account system; Florida scholarship credits are applied either at enrollment or as scholarship payments are received. For particulars of accepted payment instruments (for example, card or bank arrangements) families use the MyCDS/business-office billing process.
