Tuition Payments
Families are required to enroll and pay monthly tuition fees through Simply Giving. This method provides a convenient and efficient management of the tuition collection process, including an automatic bank draft, with options for drafting your payments on a monthly/bi-monthly basis. You can also pay for drop-in, enrollment fees, or make contributions/donations.

Tuition is calculated each school year and divided equally on a monthly basis, so that partial weeks and/or months are not pro-rated. All fees for the current school year are required to be paid prior to attending the first day of the new school year.

Tuition Discounts
Qualifying families will receive only one of the following discounts:

• A 10% Discount is offered to the eligible sibling whose tuition is the lowest.
• A 10% Discount is offered to the parents of children whose family is actively serving in the military.

The greater of the discounts will be applied to the monthly tuition. Documentation of financial responsibility will be required from grandparents and/or legal guardians prior to receiving the discount.

Scholarships are available. Please email  for the application or for more information. 

Annual Registration Fees
A $75.00 Application Fee is required with the Registration Form. Upon acceptance, a $225.00 Enrollment Fee is required to secure your child’s placement. Placement is secured for up to 90 days from the anticipated start date. Application and Enrollment Fees are non-refundable and are not discounted. All fees must be secured prior to August of the new school year.

Families enrolling mid-school year are required to pay 50% of all fees after March 1^st, and 25% after June 1st. Fees paid after June 1st are required, in addition to the upcoming school year’s fees.
