Additional fees of $75 and $200 are charged for golf and football, respectively. Athletic fees must be paid by the first Monday after practice has started.

• Ancillary Fees

  Most voluntary student activities must be pre-paid or paid at point of sale. Voluntary activities include, but are not limited to, athletics, trips, clubs, Eagle’s Nest purchases, lunch/milk program, pizza days, jeans days, after-school care and other events that are not part of the Activity Fee. Items that are not prepaid will be billed as ancillary fees through Blackbaud.

• Refund Policy

  Refunds of prepaid tuition, less non-refundable fees, will be pro-rated for the number of months remaining in the normal annual billing cycle after the month of withdrawal. All enrollment fees, activities fees, trip deposits and athletic fees are non-refundable. 

• Tuition Payment Schedule

  Each family has the choice to pay in full by July 20, or to set up an automatic payment plan through the Blackbaud Tuition Management. When you register your payment plan with Blackbaud, you may select either a two-pay plan or a monthly plan. If full payment is received by July 20, a 2% tuition discount will be applied. Monthly plans must be fully paid by April 20 of the enrolled school year. 

• Delinquency Policy

  Tuition and Fees payments are due on their scheduled payment dates. Any missed payments will result in students being dismissed from class. Tuition payments not made on their scheduled due dates are subject to a $30 returned payment fee by Blackbaud. 

• Tuition Discounts

  Some families may also qualify for one of the following tuition reductions.

  • Full-time Christian Worker
  • Career missionary families
  • Employees of SCS or HPBC

  A 2% tuition discount will be applied to payments made in full by July 20.
  
  The multi-student discount normally available for K-12 students does not apply for prekindergarten students. The first prekindergarten student in every household is subject to the rates above. Additional prekindergarten students within the same household will receive a 10% discount.

• Tuition Assistance Opportunities

  Tuition Assistance is not available for prekindergarten students.
  
  Tuition Assistance is based on a family's financial need and available funding.
