FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

Parents must assume the responsibility of paying tuition fees and miscellaneous other expenses as follow: 

Tuition - Students are enrolled on full time, ten-month-basis and the entire tuition is payable in ten equal installments.  Absenteeism due to sickness, truancy, suspensions, extended class trips, travel, and school closure for Christmas and Easter vacations, or for any other reason, does not excuse parents from their tuition obligation. Tuition is due and payable on the first of each month. 

Parents may choose either of the following methods to pay for the tuition:

• Personal check or cash by the 5th of every month

• Credit card payment by the 5th of every month

Regardless of the preferred type of payment, parents are required to have credit card information on file.  

Delinquent Accounts

a.  If payment is not made by the fifth of the month (or the next business day), it will be considered delinquent and a late fee of $25.00 will be charged.

b.  If full payment is not made by the 15th of a month, the past due fees will be charged to the credit card on file.

c.  If tuition is not received by the end of the month, the Administration will initiate a collection process based on the policy adopted by the school Finance Committee. This process may lead into requiring the withdrawal of the student from school.

d.  Students with outstanding balances by June 15 will not be allowed to receive final transcripts of records, report cards, and where applicable diplomas will be withheld.

e.  All checks returned for insufficient funds or credit card charges declined, will be treated as delinquent and a service fee of $25.00 will be assessed.

Scrip Fund Raising Project  

Parents are responsible to participate in the school-wide Scrip project.  The funds generated from this project help subsidize the purchase of much-needed academic programs.  We expect that each family either purchase $2000-worth of scrip every semester ($4000 per year) or if they prefer, simply make a direct tax-deductible contribution of $100 per semester ($200 per year) to the school. 

Other: Textbooks, uniforms, one-time earthquake supply fee, picture and photograph costs, locker fee, field trip and sports-activity-related expenses, academic testing fees, etc. are the financial responsibilities of the parents. For a complete listing of expenses please see Miscellaneous Expenses and Extracurricular Programs.
