Information about the individual balance of tuition and fees can be found in the family's online account, which is created by each family at the time of registration.

1. Application fee: Per Student (Non-Refundable). Please note that a $50 Application Fee per student must be paid at the time of a new student's registration. This one-time fee guarantees your child a place in our program. However, the fee is non-refundable if you withdraw your child for any reason. Returning students who reactivate their family accounts during the Priority Registration period are exempt from this fee.

2. Administration fee: Per family, collected only once a year (Non-Refundable). The fee is non-refundable and must be paid by all returning and new students along with the 1st tuition payment. This fee covers administrative and processing costs, onsite assistance, and informational service.

   • $35 from families with one child and

   • $50 from families with two or more children.

3. Material Fee: Per student (Non-Refundable). This fee will only be charged for classes requiring printed homework and classwork assignments, purchasing books, educational materials, and art supplies. Each class/subject has a different material fee, carefully calculated based on previous years' spending. Fees should be paid in full for the entire year during the 1st tuition collection. Some teachers collect additional material fees for specific courses. The teachers will notify you if this is the case.

Late Fees:  

Late Payment Policy: In the event that payment for tuition and fees is not received within one week after the designated dates, late fees will be applied. These late fees are assessed on any outstanding balances and will accumulate progressively over time. Reminder emails will be sent prior to the collection period and before each Sunday when tuition is collected onsite. The final reminder email will be sent a few days before the deadline. If payment for tuition and fees is not received within one week after the deadline, late fees will be incurred.

• A $30 late fee will be assessed on all outstanding unpaid balances after the seven-day grace period (the time required to receive checks mailed to the school's PO box BEFORE the deadline).
• Payments received beyond three weeks of an official deadline will incur an additional $60 late fee ($90 total).
• PAYMENTS MADE BEYOND FOUR WEEKS OF THE OFFICIAL DEADLINE WILL INCUR AN ADDITIONAL FEE OF $90, BRINGING TOTAL LATE FEES TO $180.

1. Siblings discount: Families with two children receive a 10% discount on tuition for the second child. The first child is determined as the student enrolled in the highest grade level within SchoolNova. For families with three or more children, each child receives a 10% discount. To be eligible for the discount, all children must be legal dependents of the same parent(s) or legal guardian, and they should have an active enrollment in at least one class (clubs are not included).
