Matriculation
This reservation fee is
due upon enrollment. It reserves your child's
space for the year and covers processing costs. The fee
is $50 for all students (K3 through 12th grade).
Registration
(due June 10 or
upon enrollment if after June 10)
This charge covers
achievement testing, library acquisitions, furniture,
equipment (instructional and playground), summer
maintenance, and membership in the
South Carolina
Association of Christian Schools (SCACS) and
American
Association of Christian Schools (AACS). These
organizations provide legal oversight, certification for
our teachers, and accreditation for the school.
The fee is $150 per
student for K3 and K4. The fee is $210 per student for
kindergarten and grades 1-12. A statement of your
account will be sent in May as a reminder for the
registration fee.
Tuition
The tuition, usually
paid in 11 payments July through May, pays for faculty
and staff salaries and benefits and the daily operation
of the school. The annual cost of tuition is as follows:
| K3 |
$2,354 |
($214 per
month, July through May) |
| K4 |

If a student enrolls
after July, the number of monthly payments will be
adjusted accordingly. In June we mail a statement of
your account, which will reflect any multi-family
discounts and serve as an invoice for the first
installment. Tuition payments are due on the first of
the month; a late fee of $20 is assessed after the
tenth. Payments made after May 10 for any past due
charges incurred prior to May must be paid by cash,
money order, VISA, or MasterCard. Personal checks are
accepted after May 10 for charges incurred in May.
Book Fees
The
prices for
workbooks are published by June 1. Book fees must be
paid by the first day of school since we cannot
distribute books until they are purchased. Prepaying
these during the summer will help avoid waiting in line
during Open House. Please see the page titled "Workbook
and Class Fees" for the most current listing of
these costs.
Other Fees
Class fees for courses
such as physics, chemistry, and keyboarding are due
before the first day of school. P.E. uniforms must be
purchased before the first day of classes. Sports fees
($45 per varsity sport and $35 per JV sport) are due
before the first game of the season. A graduation fee
($40) is due for all seniors and kindergartners ($17.50)
before their day of graduation. Returned checks incur a
$30 fee. A withdrawal fee of $50 will be charged if a
student withdraws after the first day of school.
Students in K3, K4, and K5 pay a $40 supply fee, which
covers supplies such as crayons, pencils, glue,
construction paper, scissors, school box, tissues, etc.
for the entire year.
Discounts
Two students in the
same family living at the same address and being billed
as one account receive a 5% discount on the annual tuition;
three receive 15%; four or more receive 25%. There is no
discount on the matriculation and registration fees. A
3% discount is given on the annual tuition if it is paid
in full with cash or check before the first day of
school.
Refunds
Matriculation and
registration fees are non-refundable and
non-transferable. Workbook fees are
refundable if the books are totally unused. Unused
tuition is refundable and is calculated by prorating the
daily rate of tuition (based on 180 days).
Past Dues
Students whose accounts are thirty days in arrears
may not attend class. All records and report cards are
withheld until tuition costs, library fines, Day Care, lunch
charges, and all other school fees are paid in full.
Students may not attend the first day of school unless
the account is current. |
