Payments
Payment of tuition always begins by making a non-refundable deposit.
- Returning families make this payment when re-enrollment forms are signed in January. This payment is about 5% of tuition.
- For newly admitted students, this payment is made when enrollment contracts are signed. For full tuition families, this deposit is 10% of tuition. For financial aid families, the deposit is scaled down.
