CONTINUOUS ENROLLMENT

The final $200 deposit installment will be posted to your FACTS account March 24.


Planning for the upcoming school year’s budget and potential tuition increases is a process we take very seriously. It is difficult to plan when we are unsure about existing families’ situations. The process we have followed for several years has failed to provide substantial information regarding returning families, which hinders us in budgeting for the coming year. As explained in the current Community Handbook, we will be using the continuous enrollment model.


The attached document will explain the new enrollment process, timeline, and financial obligations.

Reminder: Volunteer Hours

A family's tuition category will be determined based on the service hours posted to SchoolSpeak as of March 31, 2023. Families that complete hours after March 31st can petition for a category review at the end of the school year.
