Tuition includes materials, activities fee, and gross receipts tax. For returning students, tuition deposits are due no later than March 13, 2018 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 complete. For all students, the balance of tuition will be paid through FACTS Tuition Management in one of three ways:
1) Full payment of the balance of tuition by June 8, 2018 (with a 2% discount) or by July 9 (with a 1% discount). FACTS does not charge any enrollment fee for this option.
2) Two equal payments in August and January. FACTS charges a $10 enrollment fee for this option.
3) Ten payments (July through February, April and May). March will be reserved for families to pay deposits for the 2019-2020 school year. FACTS charges a $43 enrollment fee for this option.
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.
