Tuition
School Year 2020-2021
Tuition includes materials, activities fee, and gross receipts tax. For returning students, tuition deposits are due no later than March 20, 2020 or within two weeks after enrollment is complete, whichever date is later. For new students, the tuition deposit is due within two weeks after enrollment is submitted. For all students, the balance of tuition will be paid through FACTS Tuition Management in one of three ways:
- Full payment of the balance of tuition by June 15, 2020 (with a 2% discount) or by July 15 (with a 1% discount). FACTS will charge a $20 enrollment fee for this option which includes incidental billing.
- Two equal payments in August and January. FACTS charges a $20 enrollment fee for this option which includes incidental billing.
- Ten payments (July through February, April and May). March will be reserved for families to pay deposits for the 2020-2021 school year. FACTS charges a $50 enrollment fee for this option which includes incidental billing. If a student enrolls after July, the payment months and amounts will be adjusted accordingly.
Payments will be debited by FACTS directly from your bank account or charged to your designated credit card. The credit card option will include a convenience fee of 2.85%.
If a student enrolls after July, the payment months and amounts will be adjusted accordingly.

Get to Know Our School
We provide exceptional instruction and experiences in our Preschool and Pre-K, kindergarten and elementary grades. Students participate in a broad range of intellectual, artistic, and physical activities. They are challenged to become productive, responsible, and caring people by learning sound values, compassion, and ethical behavior.
Our students are encouraged to think and act independently, develop good study habits, solve problems, and think critically. It is our purpose to give children a strong foundation upon which to build their future educational and life experiences — an investment which will pay interest for a lifetime. 98% of our students get accepted into private middle schools such as Albuquerque Academy, Bosque School, and Sandia Prep.
