Tuition and Fees

2012-2013

PAYMENT POLICY

Holy Trinity Academy offers the following three options for tuition payment.

Option 1:  Annual Plan    A 5% discount will be given for yearly tuition paid in full by September 1, 2012.

Option 2:  Semester Plan   Yearly tuition is divided into two payments. The first semester payment is due September 1, 2012; the second semester payment is due January 1, 2013.

Option 3:  Monthly Plan   Yearly tuition is divided into nine equal payments.  A $5.00 surcharge will be added to each monthly payment.  All tuition payments are due the 1st day of each month, September through May, and will be considered late after the 5th day of the month.  Any payment received after the 5th of the month will result in a $25.00 late fee unless other arrangements have been made with the Administrator.  Failure to comply with this plan will result in ineligibility for the monthly payment option.

TUITION NOTES

Checks should be made payable to Holy Trinity Academy and may be mailed to the school or dropped off in the church office.  Checks must be negotiable at the time of presentation.  Post-dated checks will not be accepted.  There will be a $25.00 service charge for all returned checks.  After two NSF checks, only certified funds or cash will be accepted for any future payments.  Certified funds may also be required on accounts in arrears.

In the case of early withdrawal, two weeks’ notice is required; payments made prior to the withdrawal will be applied to the two weeks’ notice period.  Tuition charges will continue whether or not the child is in school until written notice is received that the child is being withdrawn from school.  In cases of extended absences, payments are non-refundable and may not be altered.  No tuition refund will be made after November 1, 2012 for the first semester and March 1, 2013 for the second semester, regardless of payment option. No tuition refund will be made at any time if a student is dismissed or asked to withdraw from school for disciplinary reasons.
