per year for operation, as an independent Christian school, Faith depends on school fees, contributions, and
fund-raising to support its operations.
There is no church to depend upon for monthly support. To-date, there has been no endowment, and no scholarship
funds to augment meager school income or to offer parents financial assistance. The school has received only two
official grants from foundations, totaling $33,017.00 in its twenty-seven years of operation.
It is presumed and required that parents who register their child(ren) are able and committed to make regular and
prompt payments unless the account is paid out in advance. Delinquent accounts and slow payments will be costly and
may very well result in the dismissal of the student.
It is preferred that student tuition is paid in advance. Nevertheless, recognizing that most parents may not be able to
complete a total advance payment, partial advance payments are required. It is required that the first and tenth of ten
tuition installments be paid in advance of a student's reporting to school. This payment is due August 1st or whenever
the student is enrolled.
TUITION PAYMENTS ARE DUE ON THE FIRST DAY OF EACH MONTH, August 1 - May 1. There are two payment options
available.
Plan "A" which requires paying the first and tenth tuition installments prior to the beginning of school, means
the final regular payment should be paid April 1, providing a follow-up installment is paid September.
Plan "B" also requires one to pay the first and tenth tuition installment, however the September payment may be
skipped to installments be resumed on October 1, continuing monthly through May 1.
It is in the school's interest that all regular school fees be paid in advance or while the student is still attending school
due to school need and occasional poor payment habits of a few parents. Discounts are given for multiple students
from the same household and address. Staff student tuition discounts are limited to biological children or a student for
whom the employee has been awarded legal custody.
The school will accept cash, money order, personal or bank checks (i.e. cashier checks or bank drafts). In the event of a returned check due to insufficient funds, a $50.00 fee will be charged, including a $35.00 late payment fee plus at least $15.00 as a special handling fee or bank returned deposit fee or whatever higher returned deposit fee the bank charges. In other words, the $35.00 late fee will be charged plus whatever amount the bank charges for the returned deposit. The school reserves the right to require an alternative payment method after a first returned check for insufficient funds.
All parents are expected to participate in school or PTO sponsored fundraisers. A special fundraising contribution will be accepted from parents who prefer not to participate in fundraising for any reason. Failing this, the PTO may restrict participation of the student in some activities which are funded as an award or token of appreciation to students who actively participated in a given fundraiser.
