Tuition Payment Policy

 

1.       Tuition:  If the total tuition is prepaid by July 1, a 3% discount will be allowed.  If pre-payment is not made, then tuition payments may be made in ten (10) monthly installments, beginning in August, with the final payment due in May.

2.       Should financial difficulties prevent payment by the due date of each month, parents must contact the school office to explain the reason and make suitable arrangements for payment.  Accounts delinquent will be charged a $15.00 late fee.  Students will not be permitted to attend graduation exercises or receive a certificate, report card, or transcript until all tuition is paid in full.  Children of parents owing tuition will not be re-admitted to Yonkers Christian Academy the following semester unless suitable arrangements are made with the school office.  There will be no exceptions.

3.       Failure to meet the above stated obligations will result in Board action to consider refusal of enrollment for subsequent semesters whether or not tuition is paid.

4.       If a student is withdrawn after school has begun, a two week notice of intent to withdraw must be sent to the office.  When a two week notice is given, the tuition refund will be pro-rated based on the student’s last day of attendance.  If no notice is given, tuition will be forfeited.  There is no refund of the registration fee.

5.       If a student is expelled or withdrawn at the recommendation of the school, tuition will be due on the basis of 1/180th of the annual rate for each school day the child has been a student.

6.       All unpaid tuition from past years is due the school.  Parents may determine the status of their tuition by calling SMART TUITION using the toll free number provided.  All other payment inquiries can be made through the school office.  A student will not be re-admitted into the Academy until all past due debts are paid.

7.       Check or money order tuition payments are to be mailed to SMART TUITION.  Tuition payments will not be accepted in the school office.  If a check is returned for any reason, your account will be assessed a $20.00 service charge.
