    Due with Contract

    A required $600 payment is due upon the acceptance of all students new to grades JK-12. This is a one-time payment in addition to tuition and other charges.

    A $1,000 non-refundable deposit is due at the time of registration for all returning students in grades K-12 and is applied to the student's account for 2024-25. If enrollment is canceled in writing by May 1, 2025, the $1,000 deposit is forfeited. If not canceled in writing, parents are responsible for the full year’s tuition.


    Books and Resources

    Note: Students in grades K-5 are billed in July for books and supplies. Students in grades 6-12 are responsible for purchasing books as required by their class schedules. Regardless of the payment plan you choose, all additional fees are billed in July. For more information regarding Tuition and Fees, please visit here.
