• $500.00 for third student in family, per school year (K-12)

Kindergarten Students:

• *$1050.00 per student per year (if this is the only student in the family)
• Tuition covers teaching and curriculum costs. Uniforms, field trips, and school supplies and Bibles are the responsibility of the parent to purchase. There is a $50.00 Locker/Text book fee for each grade 5-12 student, payable at the start of the school year, and sometimes special user fees for classes such as cooking, computers, Outdoor Education, Dance, Art, special gym classes such as swimming, etc. that will be announced as soon as possible in the class affected. Planners are available for sale and occasionally optional uniform items as well. Transportation to and from school is solely the responsibility of the parent. Hot lunches and special events tickets are sold periodically throughout the year.
• Registration fee is $250.00 per family per school year, but $150.00 if paid by
  June 13, 2008. This fee is due upon registration and is non-refundable.
• Post-dated cheques are requested at the time of registration for either 10 months or twelve months of the school year. Cheques should be dated by the third day of each month. Other payment options are to pay by MasterCard or Visa by pre-authorized monthly payments arranged at the school office for the first week of each month.
• If a lump sum payment is made by September 5, 2008 for the entire year’s tuition, a 5% savings will be reduced from the amount payable.
• Any NSF Cheques will result in an additional service charge of $25.00.
• All tuition more than two months overdue will be brought to the attention of the School Pastor and Principal. Each case will be reviewed independently. Overdue accounts place the child’s seat in school in jeopardy if not dealt with satisfactorily.
  Families with outstanding balances left over at the end of the school year will not be re-admitted to the school unless a tuition payment agreement has been reached and found acceptable to the school leadership team.
• Written notice is required upon withdrawal.
• Should withdrawal occur at any time during the month, tuition will be charged for the entire month plus one month. Any remaining post-dated cheques subsequent to this will be returned.
• A statement of account will be forwarded to families monthly throughout the year.
• A limited subsidy program is available throughout the school year. This must be applied for prior to the school year starting and must be approved as per the policy.
• If a student misses over 25 days of school, the Principal and Pastor will meet with parents and evaluate tuition expectations and obligations caused by these excess absences.
• Parents are expected to do volunteer service at the school for 50 hours each year. Any suitable family member or friend, whose gifting can be utilized by the school, may work off these hours. If a family decides that they do not wish to donate any time they may make a financial contribution of $500.00/year or more in lieu of volunteer hours.

Thank-you for your diligence in these matters!
