Application and registration fees
- Application fee: No specific dollar amount for an application fee is published publicly; applications and initial enrollment paperwork are processed through the school's TADS system.
- Registration fee: The registration fee amount is not published on public pages. An "Early Bird" discount of USD 150.00 per student applies for registrations completed before the published early‑registration deadline (Early Bird discount USD 150.00).
Tuition fees by year group and per term
- St. Frederick High School does not publish a public, itemized tuition schedule by grade or per term on its publicly accessible pages. Tuition amounts are provided to families in the student registration packet and are managed through the school's TADS tuition‑management system; exact per‑grade and per‑term figures must be obtained from the registration packet or the TADS billing agreement delivered after acceptance and enrollment.
- Textbooks: The cost of most textbooks is included in tuition and the registration fee; some courses may require additional workbooks or ancillary texts and may carry a separate course fee. Lost or damaged textbooks are charged to the student.
Billing schedule and payment terms
- All registration and tuition billing is administered through TADS. Families receive a tuition contract in TADS and select a payment schedule through that system.
- Payment plan options: TADS supports multiple payment schedules (annual, semi‑annual/semester, monthly installments and other customized plans). The school may require families with previous delinquency or accounts past 61 days to enroll in shorter payment plans (for example, a 10‑month plan with final payment due in April) or to use ACH automatic draft. Specific available plan options and resulting per‑installment amounts are set in the family's TADS contract.
- Non‑payment consequences: Families with delinquent accounts may be blocked from receiving report cards, transcripts, or participating in extracurricular activities; accounts 61+ days past due can result in the student being asked to leave until arrangements are made.
Boarding fees
- St. Frederick High School serves grades 7–12 as a day junior‑high/high school; no boarding program or boarding fees are listed or provided.
Other costs and typical additional fees
- Registration packet items: incidental course fees, lab fees, or workbook fees may be charged for specific courses where materials are required. These are assessed on a course‑by‑course basis and shown in registration materials or class documentation.
- Athletic and club fees: Athletic/club participation fees are charged; these fees are non‑refundable once assessed.
- PTO fees: PTO fees (when assessed) and the registration fee are listed as non‑refundable except in narrowly defined moving/attendance‑area exceptions.
- Uniforms and PE clothing: Uniforms and P.E. uniforms must be purchased through the school's approved vendors (Lands' End via the school link or Midsouth Medical Uniform). Costs for uniforms are paid by families directly to the vendor.
- Textbook/workbook charges: Some workbooks or ancillary texts may incur separate charges; book/workbook fees can be non‑refundable if already ordered and not resalable. Students are responsible for lost/damaged texts.
Refund information
- Refund rules published by the school include the following points: athletic/club fees are non‑refundable; book/workbook fees are non‑refundable if the items have been ordered and cannot be resold; registration and PTO fees are non‑refundable except in specific cases such as family move out of the attendance area prior to the school year; tuition is listed as non‑refundable.
Fee payment options and processing
- All billing is processed through TADS; families pay and manage their payment plan through the TADS account associated with their student.
- TADS payment methods: TADS supports multiple payment methods including ACH/e‑check (automatic bank draft), major credit cards, mailed check or money order, and other options; schools may apply convenience or processing fees for credit/debit card transactions. The specific payment methods and any card convenience fees applicable to a family are shown in the family's TADS billing agreement for the school.
Summary of findings and outstanding items
- The school publishes its billing process, refund rules, refund exceptions, the USD 150 early‑registration discount, and that tuition/registration is handled through TADS, but the school does not publish an itemized public schedule of tuition amounts by grade or per term on its public site. Exact tuition figures (per grade / per term / per payment plan) are distributed in the registration packet or shown in a family's TADS billing agreement after acceptance and enrollment.
