Fees
Application fees
- There is no application fee to enter the admissions lottery; NYFACS is a free, public charter school and does not charge tuition or an application fee.

Tuition fees by year group (per term / per year)
- There is no tuition for any grade (Pre-K through Grade 8). NYFACS is tuition-free for all enrolled students.

After‑school / extended‑day paid programs (fees by program and schedule)
- Pre‑K aftercare: flat monthly fee of USD 200. Payments for Pre‑K aftercare are managed separately (contact provided on program page).
- K–5 Extended Day sibling rates (monthly): 1st child USD 200; 2nd child USD 175; 3rd child USD 150. Parents must pay before the month begins; if payment is not received, the child will be removed from the program until payment is made. Scheduled monthly due dates are published for each month (September through June).
- Anselmo Academy (paid enrichment at school): example rate listed is USD 275 per 10‑week fall semester class (e.g., piano). Other paid partner programs may have individual fees or sliding‑scale tuition as noted by program partners.

Billing schedule and payment terms
- For NYFACS-run aftercare/extended‑day services, payments are due before the start of each month. Specific monthly due dates are provided (e.g., September 1 for September; September 30 for October; October 31 for November; November 30 for December; December 21 for January; January 29 for February; February 11 for March; March 29 for April; April 21 for May; May 28 for June). Nonpayment results in removal from the program until payment is received.

Boarding fees
- Boarding is not applicable. NYFACS operates as a day school following NYC DOE hours and calendar (regular school day with dismissal; extended‑day care is available as a paid service).

Other costs or fees
- Uniforms: NYFACS has a mandatory uniform policy. Uniform items are available for purchase through approved vendors (Flynn O'Hara and Cookies). The website provides vendor web stores; uniform prices are determined by those vendors (uniform purchase is an additional family expense).
- Lunch: School lunch is provided by the NYC Department of Education and is available at no charge through the DOE program; families are asked to complete the Family Income Inquiry Form to support school funding.
- Copy/record fees: the school may charge nominal fees for copies of student records or other materials where applicable.
- Program‑specific fees: certain partner after‑school programs or enrichment classes (listed as paid programs) have individual fees or sliding‑scale tuition; those fees are set by the partner organizations and vary by program. Examples include music classes (e.g., USD 275 for a 10‑week semester listed) or sliding‑scale fees for partner organizations.

Refund information
- No explicit, schoolwide refund policy for paid after‑school programs or external enrichment classes is published on the school pages reviewed. For the NYFACS extended‑day program, the published rule is that payments must be received before the month begins and nonpayment results in removal from the program; specific refund terms for cancelled sessions or withdrawals are not provided in the published after‑school summary. Parents should use the program contact information listed for questions about refunds or withdrawal procedures.

Fee payment options (methods accepted)
- The school's public pages and the after‑school program page list payment due dates and program contacts but do not specify accepted payment methods (credit card, bank transfer, check, etc.) for paid programs. Contact the program administrator listed on the program page for the accepted payment methods.

Brief note on information gaps
- The school publishes that it is tuition‑free and provides specific fees and billing rules for its paid after‑school/extended‑day programs (Pre‑K flat monthly fee; K–5 sibling monthly rates; monthly due dates; sample enrichment class fee). The site does not publish a detailed refund policy for paid programs or a consolidated list of accepted payment methods for those paid services; those specific procedural details are not available in the materials reviewed.
