TRANSFERRING STUDENTS
All records must accompany student prior to enrollment; in some cases, enrollment may be allowed prior to receiving all information, but the transferring student’s status will be probationary until records arrive.  Mid-year transfers are at administration/faculty discretion and will require interviews with immediate and previous school faculty, as well as with the student and his/her parents/guardians.
 

Tuition and Book Fees

 

2007-2008 annual tuition is $3000.00.
Prepayment Discount:
There will be a $150.00 discount available for those families who have one child if the full tuition payment is made by the first day of school. The cost will be $2,850.00.
Sibling Discounts:
2nd child with discount of 20%:  $2,400.00
3rd child with discount of 30%:  $2,100.00

Payment Plan Options:
(The discounts are not reflected in these figures)
10 month plan = $300.00 monthly
The first payment will be due when school begins August and the last payment will be due on the first of May.
12 month plan = $250.00 monthly
The first payment will be due when school begins in August, and the last payment will be due on the first of July.
Registration Fees:  $75.00 per child 
Book Fees
Kindergarten:  $100.00
First and Second Grade:  $200.00

Seventh and Eighth Grade:  $260.00
Ninth Grade:     $350.00
[While the school’s book fees cover in full all consumable textbooks, they only cover the rental of hardcover textbooks.  This is done so that the overall cost may be kept down by allowing a book to be reused for several years.  Therefore, textbooks of this nature are not to be written in or otherwise marked up while in a student’s possession.  Failure to take care of a hardcover textbook (or otherwise specified “rented’ book) will result in additional charges to the student/parent.]
 

During the month of April, early registration takes place. At this time, registration fees that are paid are applied toward the book fee expenses that are due in August. By taking advantage of this early sign-up, the $75.00 registration fee is not an additional expense, but becomes a down payment toward the book fee.
