Fee Breakdown

Fees

Application fees
- There is no application fee to enroll at Josiah Quincy Elementary School. JQES is a public K0–5 elementary school and does not charge an application or admission fee.

Tuition fees by school year (per term / per year)
- There is no tuition for any year group (K0 through Grade 5). Attendance at JQES is provided without tuition charges.
- There are no per-term or per-year tuition invoices issued by the school for general instruction.
- School meals (breakfast and lunch) are provided free to all students; families are not billed for daily school meals.

Billing schedule and payment terms
- The school does not issue a tuition billing schedule because there is no tuition. Any charges that arise (for example from optional external programs) are billed and collected by the organization operating that program. Parents should expect bills, deadlines, and payment terms to be set and communicated by the external program provider.

Boarding fees (if applicable)
- Boarding is not provided at Josiah Quincy Elementary School. The school is a day K0–5 elementary school; therefore there are no boarding fees.

Other costs or fees (uniforms, activities, materials, etc.)
- Uniforms: The school does not have a uniform requirement at this time, so there is no mandatory uniform fee.
- Optional/occasional costs that families may be asked to cover directly include: field trip contributions or tickets, optional extracurricular program tuition (before- and after-school enrichment), materials for specific projects, and community or event-related fundraising contributions. These charges are optional or program-specific and are set by the event organizer or external program.
- After-school and before-school programming offered in or connected to the school are provided by several partner organizations; some of those programs are tuition-free while others charge participant fees. Fees for those programs are assessed by the program operator.

Refund information
- The school itself does not collect tuition or standard recurring school fees, so there is no school-run refund policy for tuition. Refunds for any fees paid to external providers (after-school programs, camps, paid clubs, ticketed events) are governed by the refund and cancellation policies of the organization that collected the fee; families must follow that organization's stated refund procedures.

Fee payment options
- For school-provided instruction and school meals there are no fees to pay.
- For optional paid programs run by partner organizations, payment methods vary by provider. Common methods used by partner organizations include online registration/payment platforms (credit/debit card), direct invoicing by the provider, and organization-specific registration systems. Families should follow the payment instructions provided by the specific program operator when enrolling in paid activities. Example providers and registration channels are listed among the school's partners.
