Tuition statements and payment- Monthly tuition statements are distributed on the first day of each month and can be paid online via a bank account or dropped off at the school. Parents are responsible for paying each month’s tuition by the 5th of each month. After that date, a $10 late fee will be assessed.

Tuition is not prorated for holidays, breaks, illnesses, or family vacations.

Scholarship: If a family cannot afford to pay the full tuition, scholarships, which are awarded based on financial need, may be available. Contact the Administrative Coordinator for an application. All decisions are made by the Scholarship Committee based on the number of families applying and the money available in the annual budget. The current scholarship allocation is a monthly tuition discount of up to $85.
