TUITION

Tuition rates are generally published following registration during the months of February and/or March.  Tuition can only be determined after there is a reasonable certainty as to how many students will be enrolled for the coming year.  Parents/guardians who register a student in the school enter into a contractual obligation with the school.  The first tuition payment is due on July 1 or July 15 of the upcoming academic year; subsequent payments are due the first or fifteenth of each month, with the full payment due by April 1 or 15.  Or, if families elect to pay their tuition in full, at one time, then that payment would be due no later than July 15 for the upcoming school year.   Parents/guardians are reminded that the operational budget of the school is dependent on timely fulfillment of this obligation. 

For families of students currently enrolled, registration for the following year takes place during the months of February and/or March.  All students registered by the yearly designated date are also guaranteed a place for the coming school year.  Students registered after the designated date, are guaranteed a place for the coming year provided classroom student limits have not yet been met or exceeded.  At the time of registration, a non-refundable registration fee, which is applied to the following year’s tuition, is paid in order to secure a space for the student for the coming year.

Families also pay a non-refundable fee, applied to tuition, at the time of registration up to June 30.  Families registering during the month of July pay ten percent of the total tuition at the time of registration.  Families registering after July 31 pay twenty percent of the total tuition at the time of registration.  After July 31, tuition is prorated depending upon the date of registration at a minimum of 20% of the total tuition due.  This amount is payable prior to the student’s first day of attendance at St. Bartholomew School.

Tuition payments are to be paid in regular monthly installments beginning in July and on or before the first or fifteenth day of each month until April.  All tuition for the current school year must be paid in full by April 1 or April 15 of that given school year.

Report cards are distributed to families with up-to-date tuition payments and having all of their other financial obligations current.  Parents/guardians whose tuition is in arrears will receive a notice indicating the past due amount.  If no payments have been made, or a large outstanding balance exists after the first semester, students may not be eligible to return for the following semester.  Registration for the next school year, final grades, and transfers of academic records will not be processed if there is any outstanding balance.  It is the policy of the school that no student be readmitted to a new school year if there are any outstanding financial obligations unmet from the previous year.
